RIBBED – SMOOTH BARS

Ribbed and smooth bars are primarily used in the construction industry to enhance the durability of structural foundations. These bars are available in two types: smooth and ribbed.

• Smooth Bars: Used to support structures and provide flexibility.
• Ribbed Bars: With their ribbed surface, they prevent slippage of concrete, offering improved stability.

Features of Ribbed Bars

• The term “ribbed” refers to the grooved and textured surface of the bars, which ensures better adherence to concrete, making the structure more secure.
• These bars are made from carbon and manganese elements.
• Beyond construction, ribbed bars are also used in industries such as automotive, metal fabrication, and shipbuilding.
• Smooth bars are more flexible, while ribbed bars are sturdier. The ribbed design also provides an aesthetic advantage, contributing to material efficiency in architectural designs.

Why Choose Ribbed Bars?

Ribbed bars are preferred for their ability to improve structural integrity, particularly in seismic areas. By reinforcing columns and beams, they reduce the risk of collapse during natural disasters like earthquakes.

Ribbed Bars vs. Smooth Bars

• Ribbed bars are an alternative to smooth bars in construction.
• Their enhanced grip increases the resistance of concrete structures, making them a popular choice.

Manufacturing Process

Ribbed bars in our facilities are made by cold rolling steel to increase strength. These bars are also referred to as ribbed construction steel or ribbed construction bars. Though commonly known as construction bars, they are technically a type of construction steel, designed to meet the demands of durable and resilient structures.
