Reinforcements
Definition
The totality of metallic parts or elements (steel bars, welded meshes, profiles) structurally embedded in concrete to absorb tensile and bending stresses, creating reinforced concrete. In an extended technical sense, the term designates the assembly of auxiliary safety, control, and regulation devices (valves, faucets, pressure gauges) mounted on a pipeline, boiler, or industrial system, serving to ensure the optimal operation of the installation.
