Rebar & Reinforcement – Saint-Hippolyte

Concrete is a material that is very resistant in compression, but low in traction and shear. To compensate for this imbalance, reinforcing bars intended to resume these efforts are incorporated into the concrete mass of concrete.

Without reinforcement, concrete exhibits a fragile behaviour at breakage. The incorporation of reinforcements is essential for greater strength and stability in the face of our Quebec winters. (Gill/thaw)
