Your Guide For Rebar Tie Wire

By Kevin Gibson


When building concretes, specific steps needs to be done in order to achieve the best possible results. The step that is critical in building is placing the rebar tie wire. Since this step is critical, it is important that you make sure that you do exactly what you need to do, and here is how you do that.

First, plan your project. For concrete construction, an architect and engineer are the ones who will usually make the technical design work, along with providing specific information in regards with the configuration, sizes, and how the rebar is placed in the concrete work. Your first task would be planning the fabrication, the placement, and the schedule of work.

Second, purchase rebar. If the project is simple such as slab reinforcement and the usual building foundations, you may find and buy the rebar from a home improvement warehouses and building supply centers. For complicated ones such as tanks, foundation walls, etc. You need to have those specific shapes which are formed by a fabrication specialist.

Third, consult with your reinforcing placement plan and drawings. When this is purchased from fabricators, the supplier usually reviews your structural plan and produce details and identification for all the type of rebar that will be used. The building plans of simpler projects should provide bar sizes and spacing requirements. These documents are what you used to determine what type and where will this be needed.

Pick which strategy to use for when tying them. This is for the most part tied with a tempered steel wire which could be purchased in mass rolls that or precut pieces in packs that has circles on the finishes. Mass rolls is a decent decision for beginners, while the ones in pack is a decent decision for rodbusters.

Think about whether you should install the concrete forms before you place the bar. The heavy kinds are for large footings. Because of that, the formwork would have to be done first. You can build one side of the form for grade beam and concrete wall before tying, but make sure that you tie it first before completing the framework in order to position and tie it in place.

Shake the bars out. This also means removing the bundles of stirrups, dowels, and individual bars. This needs to be removed according to how you place your drawing count. You also need to determine the size for every direction. Mark them with the right measurement and count those marks to find out how many bars for every direction is required.

Seven, tie the bar. The bars are tied to ensure that it will remain on its correct position and to achieve your desired structure strength. Eight, place each one in its position based on the layout that was described on the previous steps. You can mark the layout bars with a paint pen, soapstone, lumber crayon, or spray paint.

Eight, use pliers you can tie it efficiently. Pull the end of the feeding with your non dominant hand. With your pliers, grip the end of the wire then push or poke it behind the bar. Reach from the side that you will bend or angle. Grip it again using the pliers, then pull to where you will route it to. Pull only the enough amount of wire.
