Concrete is good in compression, poor in tension. Steel is good in tension, poor in tension. By the addition of reinforcing steel into concrete, you take the strengths of one material and marry it to the weakness of the other. This provides a better product capable of better performance in the field.

Do you need to use wire mesh or rebar if im having fibermesh mixed with my concrete?
You still need rebar, unless you are filling a drop in an existing slab that already has steel in it.
How do you strengthen concrete with reinforcing rod?
Rebar is used to strengthen concrete because of its strength and flexibility. In order for these rods to work, there must be ample space between the rebar and the edge of the concrete piece.
Can you use fibermesh in concrete in lieu of rebar for a driveway?
You still need to use both, fiber mesh only helps with the small surface cracks.
What is the difference between lap splice length and development length for rebars?
The difference between the two is in the application. A development length is the amount of rebar length that is needed to be embedded or projected into concrete to create a desired bond strength between the two materials. The lap splice length is the length two rebar pieces must overlap and be tied together to create a bond as if there was no break and the run is "continuous". So simply put, development is rebar to concrete, splice is rebar to rebar. The lengths of both splice and development do vary. They are dependent upon different factors. These include but are not limited to concrete strength, rebar size, rebar coating and concrete cover or clearance. So when you see a chart on one project, it can differ from another for these reasons.
Roads are made up of what?
sand gravel, asphalt, pavement, concrete, and rebar
What are rebar use for?
Rebar locators are used to find exactly where the reinforcing steel is located under concrete in existing materials. They are most often used for renovation or remodeling projects.
How much steel required for 1meter cubic of conceret?
It depends on how much rebar you're willing to lay down, in earthquake prone areas and structural concrete you'll generally see a lot of rebar, in just normal paver concrete you may not see any. Rebar is used to give concrete flexibility without brittleness so it really depends on the use of the concrete.

Is cement conduct electricity?
Concrete it self may not but most concrete structures .Has rebar in them and that can .
How tall can a brick wall be before you have to use re-bar in the foundation?
I would use rebar in any concrete beam supporting a brick wall.

You still need to use both, fiber mesh only helps with the small surface cracks.
What is meant by reinforcement in concrete?
Items used to reinforce concrete are wire mesh, rebar, and steel cables.
Is epoxy required in rebar connections?
Epoxy is not required in rebar connections as concrete and wire are used to hold it in place. Rebar is a reinforcement place inside masonry structures to provide increased strength.
How many tons rebar in a cubic meter of concrete?
average of 0.12tons of rebars per cubic meter of concrete.
