Betoniteräkseksi
Betoniteräkseksi, also known as reinforcing steel or reinforcement bar, is a type of steel bar designed to reinforce concrete structures. Its primary role is to enhance the tensile strength of concrete, which is inherently weak in tension, thereby preventing cracking and improving overall structural integrity. Typically manufactured from carbon steel or alloy steel, it undergoes heat treatment to boost ductility and resistance to fracture. Commonly employed in buildings, bridges, and infrastructure projects, betoniteräkseksi is critical for ensuring the durability and safety of concrete-based constructions. Industry standards, such as EN 10025, regulate its production to guarantee consistent quality and performance.
