Meanwhile, 10mm rebars are used for domestic and smaller-scale projects like driveways which bear minimal loads.
For large-scale projects like bridge construction, rebar with a higher diameter is necessary, especially for durability. Fortunately, no life was lost and no one sustained serious injury, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
