Testing the characteristics and compliance of rebar, steel fabric, mechanical couplers, and PC strands is essential for ensuring the safety, performance, and reliability of construction projects. These tests validate that the materials meet the necessary standards and design specifications, thereby contributing to the structural integrity and longevity of buildings and infrastructure.

Rebar

• Tensile Test: Measures the yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation of the rebar.
• Bend & Rebending Test: Assesses the ductility and ability of the rebar to withstand bending without cracking.

Steel Fabric

• Tensile Test: Evaluates the tensile strength and elongation of the welded wires.
• Weld Shear Test: Determines the strength of the welds at the intersections of the wires.
• Dimension Check: Verifies the wire diameters and spacing against design specifications.

Mechanical Coupler

• Tensile Test: Ensures the coupler can transfer the required loads between connected rebars.
• Slip Test: Measures the amount of slip between the rebar and coupler under load.

PC Strands

• Tensile Test: Measures the tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity of the strands.
