Steel Rebar Types: Ribbed vs Smooth Reinforcement Bars for Construction #3639511 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays four parallel steel reinforcement bars: the top three feature characteristic diamond-shaped deformations (ribbed or deformed bars) to enhance bond strength with concrete, while the bottom bar is smooth (plain), used where minimal adhesion is required or in pre-stressed applications. All bars exhibit a metallic gray finish with realistic lighting and shadowing, suggesting high-resolution product visualization. These profiles adhere to standards such as ASTM A615 or EN 10080 depending on region.

This image is typically used on construction material supplier websites, engineering education pages, or technical datasheets to illustrate rebar types. It serves users researching concrete reinforcement options, comparing mechanical properties, or selecting appropriate bar profiles for structural design.
