Reinforcements or Steel bars are important structural components of any building which are mainly used to receive and transfer loads from one point to another.

There are four steel bar types used for load bearing purposes. They include Cold Worked Steel, Prestressing Steel, Hot Rolled Deformed Bars and Mild Steel Plain bars.
The type commonly used in enhancing the tensile strength of concrete in beams and columns in Nigeria fall under the Hot Rolled Deformed Bars category and that is the most popular of all Rods types.

For small to medium scale projects, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm bar sizes will economically do the work without adding unnecessary weight to the building. But for complex engineering constructions like bridges, and tunnel where length of work run in Kilometers of lengths, higher diameter bars will be needed so as not to degrade the structural integrity of the project
