Rebar Accessories & Equipment

Above and below: Properly placed/supported reinforcement will result in properly located reinforcement in the slab. Consult manufacturers' literature for maximum chair and other support spacing and use a 12-inch minimum reinforcement spacing so workers can avoid walking on the reinforcement.

Random cracks in reinforced slabs caused by thermal contraction and drying shrinkage are not longitudinal cracks and typically do not increase the risk of reinforcement corrosion in concrete.
Two Theories Related to Cracks and Rebar Corrosion
March 16, 2015
When slabs are placed on problematic subbases with risks of non-uniform support or consist of moderate to high shrinkage concrete or joint spacings exceed 15 ft., then reinforcement is necessary to limit widths of cracks should they occur.

The new St. Croix River crossing between Minnesota and Wisconsin near Stillwater is an “extra-dosed precast segmental” structural concrete bridge. Shown here are the first three 180 ton segments on either side of the pier, held in place by post-tensioned tendons. The blue device is called a “segment lifter” and it also supports a working platform on the edge of the segment that iron-workers use to do the cable tensioning.
