Why Spacers (Cover Blocks) are a Must in R.C.C Structures

Spacers Help Maintain Proper Cover to the Reinforcement bars. Proper Cover is Essential as:
It Provides Protection From Eternal Environment To Rebars Against Corrosion.
It Ensures Adequate Bond Area So That Stresses From Concrete Are Transferred To Steel.
It Delays Softening Of Rebars Due To High Temperature In Case Of Fire.

Cover Block Round Without Wire

Round cover blocks without wire are circular spacers used to maintain the required distance between reinforcement bars and the concrete surface. These cover blocks provide uniform cover around the rebar and are made from materials like cement, concrete, or plastic.

Key Features:

1. No wire attachment: Designed to be placed directly on the formwork or fixed between rebar, they don’t require tying with wire, making installation simple.

2. Material: Typically made from high-strength concrete or plastic, ensuring durability and compatibility with the concrete mix.

3. Usage: Commonly used in slabs, columns, beams, and footings where uniform cover is essential.

4. Shapes & Sizes: They come in various sizes (e.g., 20mm, 25mm, 40mm) to meet specific structural needs.

5. Advantages: They ensure proper reinforcement cover, help prevent corrosion, and maintain structural integrity.

Cover Block Different Size

A cover block is a spacer used to maintain a specific distance between reinforcement bars and the surface of the concrete. The cover is crucial in protecting the reinforcement from environmental effects like corrosion and fire.

15 mm Cover Block: Typically used for plastering or thin slabs.
20 mm Cover Block: Used in thin concrete elements such as precast concrete or small beams.
25 mm Cover Block: Standard for walls, beams, and slabs in general buildings.
40 mm Cover Block: Commonly used for columns, heavy beams, and large slabs.
50 mm Cover Block: Applied in retaining walls or structures exposed to aggressive environmental conditions.
75 mm Cover Block: Used for footings, foundations, or large columns exposed to water or soil.
