Deformed Reinforcing Straight Bar

Neumann Steel take immense pride in being 100% Australian Owned and Operated

Deformed Steel Reinforcing Bar has a rougher surface in order to further enhance the bond between the steel bar and the concrete used.

Deformed Steel Reinforcing Bar commonly known as a reinforced steel bar or rebar, is a standard, straight-form reinforcing steel bar that comes in stock lengths of 6 metre, 9 metre, 12 metre and 15 metre lengths.

It is manufactured and supplied in a straight form and can be shaped or bent on-site. Deformed Steel Reinforcing Bar has a rougher surface in order to further enhance the bond between the steel bar and the concrete used.

Deformed rebars are readily available, making it the preferred reinforcing bar product for residential builders. Using stock lengths of reinforcing bar means that building can progress rapidly without waiting for custom steel specifications to be processed and delivered to the job site. This reduces slowdowns caused by longer lead-times and ensures the project is completed on time and on budget.

To determine whether this bar type suits your upcoming project, explore its typical applications and advantages.

What is a stock straight reinforcing bar?

Reinforcing steel is commonly called upon when a concrete project needs added strength. Although concrete can be tough on its own, using a reinforcing bar improves it even more and gives further integrity to the concrete surrounding it.

Stock straight reinforcing bars come in various specifications, including a variety of lengths and diameters. For example, an N12 bar is a 12mm diameter deformed steel rod and one of the most common sizes. Traditionally known as a Y12, the technology and construction used to manufacture the bar were improved, creating a stronger one known today as an N12 bar.

At Neumann Steel, we can help you assess which length and diameter of reinforcing bar is suited to your project, including whether an N12 bar is the right choice.

Why Deformed Rebar is So Effective

As the name suggests, a reinforcing bar is primarily used to enhance the strength and tension of concrete. Whether it’s a stock straight rebar or one that has been cut and shaped, it offers several advantages:

Pliability: Reinforced steel is available in stock bars that can be shaped and bent as needed, making them suitable for various applications.

Strength: Reinforcing steel is a robust building material that adds tensile strength and compression to concrete, which can be weak in tension. This makes reinforcing steel essential in construction.

Compatibility with Concrete: Stock bars are designed with ridges or bumps that help them bond effectively with concrete, enhancing the overall stability of the structure.

Recyclability: Once projects are complete, the reinforcing bars can be recycled and repurposed, making them an environmentally friendly choice.

Given these clear advantages, it’s no surprise that reinforcing bars, particularly N12 bars, are widely used in construction.

The primary difference between Deformed Reinforcing Steel Bar and regular round steel bar lies in their surface texture. The ribbed surface of deformed rebar allows concrete to grip the steel more effectively, strengthening the bond between the two materials. Although concrete is strong on its own, adding reinforcing bars further improves its integrity and durability.

Once the concrete has set, the enhanced bond provided by deformed rebar significantly reduces the likelihood of the steel slipping or shifting within the concrete, resulting in greater stability and strength for the structure. Deformed rebar is rated to 500 MPa (D500N), compared to round (smooth) reinforcing bar, which is rated at 250 MPa (D250N).

Stock deformed reinforcing bars are available in various specifications, including different lengths and diameters. For example, an N12 bar, which has a 12mm diameter, is one of the most common sizes. Formerly known as Y12, advancements in manufacturing technology have led to the stronger N12 bar used today.

At Neumann Steel, we can help you determine the appropriate length and diameter of reinforcing bar for your project, including whether an N12 bar is the right choice.”

Typical applications for a deformed reinforcing bar

As an easily adaptable and tensile strengthening component, you’ll commonly find reinforced bars of all sizes in many industries. Here are just a few applications where a reinforcing bar can be valuable.

Transport
Stock straight reinforcing bars can be used to construct railways, bus stops, and other public transport structures.

Construction
The most common use for a steel reinforcing bar is the vertical and horizontal reinforcement of masonry walls, and for house and factory slabs. Major projects like hospital and stadium builds may use it sometimes, but it’s more commonly seen in residential projects, including house builds and retaining walls.

Natural energy
Reinforcing steel is commonly used in natural energy projects, including wind farms and large-scale solar. Additionally, the sustainability of these bars and the fact that they can be recycled adds to their suitability for this type of project.
