<\/span><\/div>Acier Lachine offers a wide range of standard and special reinforcing bars for construction projects of any scale. Couple that with Acier Lachine’s competitive cut-to-measure service \u2013 and you can be sure you are in the right place to cover all your reinforcement construction needs. The rebars are cut, bent, and pre-fixed(optional) for various concrete structures and are delivered to construction sites.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>Rebar (short for Reinforcing Bar), also known as reinforcement steel, is used in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures. Concrete is strong under compression, but tension forces can crack it. Therefore, rebar is used as a tension device to significantly increase the tensile strength of the structure.\u00a0<\/span>Rebar is made from steel because steel is very strong, and because steel expands and shrinks at nearly the same rate as concrete in hot and cold weather.<\/span><\/h3>\nFor a better bond with the concrete and to reduce the risk of slippage, the rebar’s surface is covered in ribs, lugs, or indentations.
