FABRICATED REINFORCEMENT READY TO 

 PLACE IN THE FORMS 



READY TO PLACE 



CORR-BAR UNITS 



SHOP fabricated reinforcement marks a turning point 

 in reinforced concrete construction. It is only a 

 question of time when the practice of organizing a fab- 

 rication crew, for each job, with local inexperienced 

 common labor, must give way to well-established shop 

 practice, in which hand labor is replaced by machine 

 production. 



Shop fabrication secures accuracy, thereby eliminat- 

 ing one important factor of uncertainty in construc- 

 tion. It secures economy and facilitates supervision 

 and inspection. It saves storage and working space 

 at the building site, often a matter of great importance, 

 and by decreasing the amount of labor in the field removes some of 

 the uncertainty and annoyance connected with the handling of labor. 

 Reinforcement should not only be fabricated in the shop, but 

 assembled into units, as far as practicable, properly marked and made 

 ready to place directly in the forms. 



For beam reinforcement the Corr-Bar Unit is an ideal example of 

 shop fabricated reinforcement. Instead of depending upon the skill 

 of the individual workman to fabricate and assemble twenty to 

 thirty pieces and place them properly in the forms, one unit is made 

 in the shop by machine operators under the direction of an organi- 

 zation especially trained to do this work. The unit is inspected and 

 marked and so equipped with supporting devices as to insure its 

 proper place in the structure.
