An Entity of Type: Whole100003553, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A Johnson bar (also Johnson corrugated bar) is a type of corrugated high-carbon steel rebar used to reinforce concrete. The Johnson bar was invented by A.L. Johnson of the St. Louis Expanded Metal Company. Its specific efficacy comes from having "alternate elevations and depressions to grip the concrete," with the shoulders of the corrugations having "an inclination with the axis of the bar" to prevent slipping between the bar and the concrete. The pattern of elevations and depressions aids in the stability of the structure; even if a Johnson bar no longer adheres to the concrete (due to vibrations, for instance, or to accidentally being smeared with oil, reducing the adhesion significantly, as may happen during careless construction), it will have a hold on the concrete as strong as or st

dbo:abstract
  • A Johnson bar (also Johnson corrugated bar) is a type of corrugated high-carbon steel rebar used to reinforce concrete. The Johnson bar was invented by A.L. Johnson of the St. Louis Expanded Metal Company. Its specific efficacy comes from having "alternate elevations and depressions to grip the concrete," with the shoulders of the corrugations having "an inclination with the axis of the bar" to prevent slipping between the bar and the concrete. The pattern of elevations and depressions aids in the stability of the structure; even if a Johnson bar no longer adheres to the concrete (due to vibrations, for instance, or to accidentally being smeared with oil, reducing the adhesion significantly, as may happen during careless construction), it will have a hold on the concrete as strong as or stronger than a "plain" bar (that is, a simple prismatic bar).
