REINFORCEMENTS STEEL BARS WORKS

Course Summary: Reinforcement Steel Bars Works

This course introduces learners to the principles, techniques, and practices of working with reinforcement steel bars (rebar) used in reinforced concrete construction. It covers the identification, selection, cutting, bending, placing, and tying of reinforcement steel according to construction drawings and specifications. Emphasis is placed on ensuring structural strength, durability, and safety of reinforced concrete elements such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations.

The module also highlights standard codes of practice, tools and equipment for reinforcement work, safety measures, and quality control in reinforcement placement. Learners gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills required in the preparation and installation of reinforcement steel in building and civil engineering projects.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Understand the role of reinforcement steel in concrete structures.

• Identify types, grades, and sizes of reinforcement bars.

• Interpret reinforcement detailing from construction drawings.

• Cut, bend, and tie reinforcement bars to required shapes and dimensions.

• Place and secure reinforcement in formwork according to standards.

• Apply safety and quality control measures during reinforcement works.
