Rebar Rebend Test

Rebar Rebend Test
The Rebar Rebend Test measures reinforcing steel's capacity to withstand repeated bending and rebending, imitating the handling and realignment that might occur on construction sites.  In this test, a rebar sample is bent, aged, and then bent in the other direction to look for cracks or fractures.  It is especially important for high-yield strength rebars and locations with strict seismic resistance.  This test, performed in accordance with standards such as BS 4449, confirms that the rebar can withstand difficult field conditions without affecting structural performance.

Advantages of Rebar Rebend Test:

• Simulates real-world handling situations on the site.
• Evaluates rebar fatigue and flexibility.
• Prevents failure from repetitive deformation.
• Required for seismic and critical infrastructure projects.
• Improves construction quality control processes.
• Shows long-term dependability of reinforcing.
