Perfect for pullout testing of grouted re-bar on highway, bridge and tunnel applications these quick acting re-bar grips are available for sale or rental.
They are used with hydraulic jacks by just slipping the jack and grip over grouted re-bar and applying pressure to desired load (available with hydraulic jack system).
Grips are also available for rigging and special applications.
Concrete is strong under compression, but has weak tensile strength. Rebar significantly increases the tensile strength of the structure. Rebar’s surface is often deformed to promote a better bond with the concrete.
Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or reinforcement steel, is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension.

REBAR
Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is a steel bar used primarily in reinforced concrete and masonry structures to increase tensile strength. While concrete is inherently strong in compression, it is much weaker in tension, and rebar helps balance this weakness by absorbing tensile forces. The use of rebar significantly strengthens concrete, allowing structures to withstand greater stresses, especially in applications where concrete may experience bending or stretching forces.
Carbon steel rebar is the most commonly used material due to its cost-effectiveness and compatibility with concrete. Steel and concrete have nearly identical coefficients of thermal expansion, which minimizes stress from temperature changes. This property, combined with the steel’s high tensile strength, makes carbon steel rebar an ideal reinforcement material in construction.
Rebar is often characterized by its deformations, such as ribs or lugs, that are embossed on its surface. These deformations improve the bond between the steel and the surrounding concrete, preventing slippage and ensuring the two materials work in tandem. Rebar is available in various grades and sizes, with lengths ranging from 20 to 60 feet and diameters designated by a number system (#4 to #18, for example). Grades typically refer to the yield strength, with Grade 40 rebar having a yield strength of 40,000 psi and Grade 60 rebar offering 60,000 psi.
In addition to standard carbon steel, there are other specialized types of rebar. For example, stainless steel rebar offers increased corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture or corrosive chemicals. There are also composite bars made from materials like glass, carbon fiber, and basalt fiber. While these alternative materials offer specific benefits, such as resistance to corrosion, they are often more expensive and thus reserved for specialized applications.
Another notable form of rebar is epoxy-coated or zinc-coated rebar, designed for increased durability in environments such as marine structures, where corrosion is a significant concern. More recently, bamboo has been researched as an alternative to steel in some regions, owing to its high tensile strength and sustainability.
Rebar is also appreciated for its ornamental uses due to its distinctive ribbed appearance and affordability. Some decorative and creative applications involve using rebar in garden sculptures or furniture design.
In construction, rebar is essential for reinforcing concrete structures, providing the tensile strength necessary to balance the compressive strength of concrete. Whether used in roads, bridges, or buildings, rebar plays a pivotal role in ensuring structural integrity.
