Reinforcement
Steel bars, mesh, or other materials embedded in masonry to increase tensile strength and overall structural capacity. Common reinforcement includes rebar in grouted block cells, joint reinforcement between courses, and post-tensioning systems. Reinforcement placement must follow engineering specifications and building codes for proper load distribution and structural performance.
