Reinforced masonry is a construction technique that combines traditional masonry materials, like brick or block, with steel reinforcement bars, known as rebar. This method enhances the strength and stability of structures, making them more resistant to forces such as wind, earthquakes, and other loads. In reinforced masonry, the rebar is placed within the masonry units and filled with mortar or concrete. This integration allows the structure to better handle tension and compression, resulting in safer and more durable buildings. It is commonly used in walls, columns, and foundations in various types of construction projects.
