noun - refers to the steel bars or mesh embeded within concrete to primarily resist tensile and bending stresses, ensuring the structural integrity of a component like a beam, slab or column.

verb - means to fix or set something securely and deeply within another material, often concrete or another structural component. / means to implant or fix something within a larger material.

noun - refers to the internal force per unit area within a material that resists being pulled apart or streched.

noun - U-shaped or closed loop steel reinforcement bars placed within concrete beams and columns to provide lateral support and prevent shear failure.

verb, noun - refers to a force that acts parallel to a surface, causing layers within a material to slide past one another, leading to distortion or deformation. This is different from compression or tension, which act perpendicular to a surface.

noun - is a framework of steel reinforcing bars (rebar) assembled to provide structural within concrete elements, particulary in foundations, columns and other load-bearing components.

noun - refers to a grid-like structure made of interconnected wires or wibers, often used to reinforce concrete or other materials.

noun - a long, thin piece of metal or wood.

noun - particularly in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, a "lap" or "lap splice" refers to the overlapping of two reinforcing bars (rebars) to create a continuous length of reinforcement.

noun - is the minimum distance between the outer surface of a concrete structure and the nearest reinforcing steel bar. Its purpose is to protect the reinforcement from corrosion, fire, and other damage, ensuring the structural integrity of the element.

adj - generally means the part of a component or structure that is furthest from its center or interior.

verb - a connection between two surfaces or objects that have been joined together, especially by means of an adhesive substance, heat, or pressure.

noun - (also often reffered to as formwork) are temporary structures used to shape concrete or other materials into a desired form until they harden.

noun - refers to a concrete component that is manufactured off-site in controlled environment, such as a factory, and then transported to the construction site for assembly.

adj - (also known as site-cast or pour-in-place) refers to a construction method where concrete is poured and cured directly at the construction site, rather than being pre-fabricated off-site and then transported.
