The difference between simple and ribbed rebar applications
Difference in terms of dimensions: Simple and ribbed rebar are produced in different sizes. Simple rebars are produced in dimensions of 5.5 to 20 mm, and ribbed rebars are produced and marketed in dimensions of 5.5 to 40 mm. The price of rebar in different sizes is also different and each rebar with each size has a separate price. A series of rebar sizes that are more widely used always have a higher price. For example, the price of 14 and 16 rebar is higher than other sizes.
Difference in terms of application: Simple and ribbed rebar each have many different uses according to their features and capabilities. Simple rebars are mostly used in industrial cases and are generally less expensive, and the price of simple rebars is also different from the price of ribbed rebars. Ribbed rebars are mostly used in building construction, for example plain rebars are used to make chamuts, zigzag rebars, types of bolts and nuts and some industrial connections. Also, this type of rebar is used in forging and welding. Because it is easier to cut and bend due to its flexibility than other rebars. Simple rebars are also used as screws in reinforcement and as thermal rebars in block beam roofs. The use of simple rebars in heavy structures is not recommended. Ribbed rebars are very common in construction, and among the applications of this type of rebar are in concreting walls, increasing the strength of concrete, strengthening the foundation, and increasing the shear force. And concreting the floor of the structure. A4 rebars have the largest amount of tread and are used to make metal frames and concrete beams. Ribbed rebars have high resistance and fragility, and for this reason, like simple rebars, they can be welded and bent a little. For this reason, ribbed bars are not used in industry and welding. Ribbed bars are also resistant to rust because they are made of heated steel.
Difference in terms of appearance: One of the differences between plain and ribbed rebar is in their appearance. Plain rebars are smooth and polished on their surface and there are no protrusions on their surface. But ribbed rebars They have protrusions on their surface, and these treads are in spiral, truncated, and compound shapes and are classified under the headings of A2 spiral tread, A3 truncated tread, and A4 compound tread. These treads make the rebars in concrete more connected, and therefore the combination of concrete and ribbed rebars creates a much more resistant structure.
