Steel

• While concrete has excellent strength, it cannot bear all the load alone. That's why steel bars are cast into concrete to carry loads
• You have two kinds of steel bars - deformed and mild
• Mild bars are plain on the surface and have rounded sections
• Deformed bars have ribs or deformations on their surface
• Good quality bars should be round and free from surface flows and cracks. They shouldn't have edges that are rough, jagged and imperfect
• A bar bending schedule will give you details about the size, shape and dimensions of the bars to be cut
• You can get this schedule from your engineer/architect to help you buy bars in the most economical way
