Construction Metals
To provide the desired durability in construction areas and to use the compression force of the concrete most efficiently, construction metal types should be used with appropriate preferences.
METAL TYPES
Carbon Steel Rebar (Black Bar)
Welded Wire Rebar
European Rebar
Epoxy Coated Rebar
Sheet Metal Rebar
Stainless Steel Rebar
Galvanized Steel
Expanded Steel Mesh
Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer Steel
While making room for quality selection in the purchase of rebars, attention should also be paid to the use of rebars with choices suitable for their conditions. The metals used in construction have different choices, and their uses, contents, and other details are given below as sub-headings.
Carbon Steel Rebar (Black Bar)
The black bar, which has the most common use in construction areas, is known for providing versatile advantages.
Welded Wire Rebar
It is used for flooring on walls and in areas compressed by the ground.
European Rebar
This Steel, which is an alternative to other rebars, is not suitable for use in earthquake zones.
Epoxy Coated Rebar
This coating, which prevents rebar corrosion, is a very costly choice and must be obtained from reliable places.
Sheet Metal
This steel, which is made of steel sheets, is a material choice used in areas such as flooring and stairs.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel rebars, which are an alternative choice to carbon rebar, known as black bar, are a product with galvanic resistance. The product also costs eight times more than epoxy coated rebar.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized Steel, which is especially chosen for highly abrasive areas, has a strength that is forty times higher than black bar iron. It is among the most expensive rebar.
Expanded Steel Mesh
Expanded steel mesh is made by dividing the steel plate into equal plates is widely used where a common plaster thickness is required. Wire mesh can be used for sidewalks, walkable surfaces and small concrete pads.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Steel
Glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar is called GFRP rebar. This Steel, which does not rust under any circumstances, is an extremely costly choice. It is a ten times more costly choice than epoxy coated rebar.
