5 Ideal retrofit to improve the performance of existing - 1300 780 Features and Benefits A continuously threaded, hot rolled, Grade 500 REINFORCING bar that can be cut along its length, then simply joined end to end by a coupler. This unique feature enables an entirely new approach to reinforcement placing and fixing. Improved structural integrity. Ductility can be guaranteed at all column/beam/slab joints. Ultimate strength development is possible with short embedment depths. Suitable for very thin concrete sections, such as wall panels.

6 Provides simple SOLUTIONS for construction problems, reducing both labour and material costs. Increases productivity on site. Full range of threaded fittings for joining, anchoring and terminating. Simplifies the detailing and fixing of rebar. Economical to splice the bar without specialised splicing equipment. Reduces bar congestion problems; laps, cogs, eliminated in heavily reinforced areas. Eliminates cast-in starter bars to simplify transport and handling. Easy to provide anchorage for starter bars for in-situ concrete pours.

7 Eliminates the need to drill holes in formwork and shutters for starter bars. Offcuts have many other uses and the ability to join shorter lengths reduces wastage. Bridge to Nowhere - precast bridge can be bolted together with virtually no on site walls constructed from the top TECHNICAL DATA GO TO - ReidBar Specifications and SizesTypical CharacteristicsYoungs modulus (E) is nominally is manufactured in both New Zealand and Australia and satisfies the requirements of the standard for Steel REINFORCING Materials, AS/NZS4671:2001.

RBA16 to RB32 ReidBar is manufactured in Australia using the TEMPCORE is a part of a proprietary system using a range of fittings to simplify reinforcement the exception of formwork fittings and the 32mm ReidBrace system, all Reidbar system fittings develop the breaking strength of Reidbar .

Concrete design codes specify that a minimum length from the back of the bend to the critical surface is to be Ldh in order to be fully effective as flexural designers and constructors become more familiar with the use of tilt-up and precast methods normal conservatism can be pushed to the limit. This is especially true with the current trend towards increasingly slimmer wall panels where the provision of an effective Research at New Zealand University of Auckland by Maureen Ma in 1999 into Methods of Joining Precast Concrete components to form Structural Walls highlighted the performance of Reid Inserts compared to that of conventional hooked bar construction.
