Types of Steel Bars
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
In general, steel bars are categorized into two. These include deformed and mild steel bars. The mild ones are mainly used to make slab beams that require reinforced cement concrete. They are usually plain and are available in round sections. These sections vary in diameter and can be between 6mm and 50mm. They are usually manufactured as long rods but they can be easily cut or bent without getting damaged.
The deformed type of steel bars usually has ribs, deformations or lugs on the surface. They are used to reduce slipping in concrete. The tensile stress on these bars is higher compared to the mild steel bards. End hooks are not necessary when you are using the deformed steel bars. They usually measure between 6mm and 50mm in diameter. Deformed steel bars are preferred because they limit cracks in reinforced concrete and thus are recommended for use in structural engineering.


Granite has been in use in construction since time immemorial. The granite is an igneous rock which is very strong and durable. Granite products are used in kitchen and other countertops, floors and staircase. Granite is used in both commercial and domestic purposes. Molded products using granite are used in construction of staircase. These are very beautiful and increase the look of the overall construction. Columns of the house are also constructed with granite. The granite columns provide a unique look to houses due to their vibrant colors and looks. Though initially the granite columns may be a bit expensive but in long run they turn out to be cheaper. The reason being they don’t require maintenance or coloring. Moreover the granite columns are more resistant to natural hazards than cement columns.
