Description: Image of rebar, and wooden forms prepared for concrete pouring of TAPCO. Rebar is short for "reinforcing bars", the method of using rebar for construction first began in the mid-nineteenth century C.E. in Europe and then began to be used in the U.S. in the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century. Rebar reinforced the concrete so it could endure far more weight without stressing or cracking the concrete. It is rebar that allowed for buildings to build up, instead of only out, and has a greater longevity.
