My Construction Photos > Steel frame supports horizontal rebars for cast in place concrete beam. Top steel is supported at proper height by a transverse rebar, and height can be adjusted by small chain fall. Top steel supports U stirrups, which can themselves support horizontal bottom steel. Note that steel rebar cage sags under its own weight and requires additional support along its length. Colorado Street, Denver, Colorado, December 4, 2006.
My Construction Photos > At far end, steel frame supports horizontal rebars for cast in place concrete beam. Top steel is supported at proper height by a transverse rebar, and height can be adjusted by small chain fall. Top steel supports U stirrups, which can themselves support horizontal bottom steel. Resteel sags under its own weight and needs additional support along its length. The resteel extends grade beams at near end, which has top steel exposed to bond to concrete slab floor. Colorado Street, Denver, Colorado, December 4, 2006.
My Construction Photos > Cast-in-place concrete construction, reinforced: In center of photo, at far end of trench, bent end of rebar is used to pull up bottom rebar in trench during concrete placement to achieve necessary concrete cover under rebar to protect it from soil/moisture/salts and produce bond between concrete and steel. In addition, worker uses shovel to support rebar while concrete is placed. Concrete is being placed through chute from ready-mix concrete truck. Depot Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan, October, 2006.

Concrete is being placed through chute from ready-mix concrete truck. Depot Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan, October, 2006.
My Construction Photos > Earthwork, steel, concrete construction: Basement area has WF steel soldier beam, timber breastboard, tie back temporary retaining wall in left center. Bundles of resteel sit at grade level behind retaining wall, and two horizontal cables provide excavation edge fall protection. Right center bottom to top cast-in-place (CIP) reinforced concrete foundation piers sitting on CIP spread footings below and support base plates for H-section columns for superstructure. Protruding from piers are rebars, in circular pattern in piers, and 4 anchor bolts for column base plates. The rebars will be cut off before base plates and columns are set. heavy copper wire also protrudes from top of piers that is also attached to an electric ground plate in soil at bottom of footing. The cable will be attached/ spliced to metal above to provide an electic ground for building. Resteel extends above CIP foundation wall at bottom and upper right to provide reinforcing continuity at joint with future wall above and CIP slab to right. Backfill at bottom of excavation is sand, and additional granular material at top rear will later provide vertical support for CIP slab. Pink polystyrene sheets stacked in excavation will provide insulation when attached to exterior of foundation/ basement wall, as at mid-height far right. Cardiovascular Center, University of Michigan Hospital, Ann Arbor, 2004.

My Construction Photos > Concrete construction: Tying reinforcing steel (resteel) bars (rebars) for reinforced concrete bridge deck. Resteel is coated with green colored epoxy to resist corrosion from winter road salting. Rebars are placed in top and bottom of slab, both longitudinal (along length of bridge deck) and transverse (across deck). Rebars are tied at intersections to provide support and hold them in place until concrete is cast around them for bridge deck. Broadway Bridge, Ann Arbor, 2003.

Steel frame supports horizontal rebars for cast in place concrete beam. Top steel is supported at proper height by a transverse rebar, and height can be adjusted by small chain fall. Top steel supports U stirrups, which can themselves support horizontal bottom steel. Note that steel rebar cage sags under its own weight and requires additional support along its length.
