Simply speaking, reinforcing steel is used in all constructions that have a concrete structure. Modern construction cannot do without this material. Thanks to its properties, reinforcing steel makes it possible to produce robust, resilient and long-lasting structures that must withstand all types of pressure.
In bridges, reinforcing steel increases the resistance of the bridge structure to dynamic forces and heavy loads. In high-rise buildings, reinforcing steel is used to reinforce load-bearing structures, such as columns, slabs and walls. Reinforcing steel serves the same purposes also in tunnels, where, inter alia, it must ensure stability and resistance to environmental influences. Reinforcement made out of reinforcing steels is used also in construction of dams, reservoirs and other water structures, where it must resist the action of water and other external influences that have an impact on such structures. Moreover, reinforcing steel also forms a part of various types of reinforced concrete prefabricated elements, such as beams, ceilings, columns or panels.
