· Exactly how much rerod is needed in a particular pour will depend on the load it will have to support.

· For particularly strong pieces or where small irregular shapes are being formed, the rerod can be put together in a cage-like arrangement.

For most concrete work, including everything discussed in this manual, rerod should take up 0.5% to 1% of the cross-sectional area.

· When placing rerod in a form before the concrete is poured it should be located:

· Where possible, it is usually best to assemble rerod inside the form so that it will fit exactly.

· The reinforcing rod (rerod) usually comes in long sections of a given diameter.
