Rebar Art and Design Studio, stylized as REBAR, is an interdisciplinary studio founded in 2004 and based in San Francisco, United States,[1] operating at the intersection of art, design, and activism. The group's work encompasses visual and conceptual public art, landscape design, urban intervention, temporary performance installation, digital media and print design. Rebar's projects often intersect with contemporary urban ecology, new urbanism, and psychogeography practices and theory.
Principal members of Rebar are John Bela, Matthew Passmore, and Blaine Merker. Rebar's work has been exhibited at the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale, ExperimentaDesign Amsterdam, ISEA 2009 Dublin, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the American Institute of Architects, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Parsons School of Design, University of California Berkeley, the University of Michigan, the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
In May, 2010 Rebar designed and installed its first Walklet, located at 22nd Street and Bartlett in the Mission District of San Francisco. A second walklet was installed and in front of Caf Greco along Columbus Avenue in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco in September 2010.[4] The installation at 22nd and Bartlett in San Francisco was part of a Pavement to Parks pilot project supported by the San Francisco Planning Department. A third Walklet, which gained city approval in late October 2010, will extend the existing Columbus Street installation.[5] In September 2010, San Francisco's expanded the scope of the Pavement to Parks program when it issued a request for proposals for Parklet permits to city businesses and nonprofits.
A Walklet extends the sidewalk surface into the street and creates a more open and walkable pedestrian experience by converting parking spaces into public space. A Walklet is composed of many three-foot wide modules, which each serve a purpose, such as seating area, standing and walking area, or landscaping area. The modules can be mixed and matched with other Walklet modules to create a design combination for each site.
Rebar also designed the Showplace Triangle park, located at 8th Street between 16th and Irwin Streets in the Potrero Hill district of San Francisco. It was San Francisco's second Pavement to Parks project, following the Castro Commons park. Rebar's design for the park used dumpsters for planters and surplus granite countertops for bench seating.[6] In February 2010 data collected by the Great Streets Project showed a 29 percent increase in pedestrians walking through the plaza, a 40 percent increase in the number of survey respondents who had a positive perception of the neighborhood, and a 61 percent increase among people who considered Showplace Triangle a good place to stop, relax and socialize. The number of users who felt a sense of community character in the area rose 39 percent.[7]
The Tacoshed project was collaboration between David Fletcher and Rebar, with the students of the Brave New Ecologies Course taught in the fall of 2009 as part of URBANlab, an innovative curriculum component of The California College of the Arts Architecture Program.[8] The project was meant to give insight to how a familiar food like the food truck taco could provide information on the Bay Area's food and wastesheds. Tacoshed catalogued the network of systems, flows and ecologies that contribute to the lifecycle of a taco and the findings were presented at a public event in February 2010. A schematic diagram of the project was also published in issue 11 of Meatpaper magazine, released in spring 2010, and the project garnered mentions on BLDGBLOG[9] and in Good Magazine.[10] The progress of the project is communicated via the @tacoshed Twitter account. Maps and graphics were created by Rachael Yu and Annie Aldrich, Teresa Aguilera, and Fletcher Studio.
For its spring 2003 issue on "Property," Cabinet Magazine, a non-profit Arts and Culture quarterly, purchased a half acre of land for $300 on eBay. The land was part of a failed 1960s residential development called the "Sunshine Valley Ranchettes," now a desolate tract of desert scrubland outside of Deming, New Mexico. The magazine set upon the land a complex, non-traditional development scheme. The land was dubbed Cabinetlandia and divided into manageable sectors- Readerlandia, Editorlandia, Nepotismia, and so forth. Magazine-sized parcels were offered to readers for a penny for a 99-year lease.
Rebar contacted Cabinet Magazine and organized a collaborative effort to construct the Cabinet National Library, a library which contains all and only back issues of Cabinet magazine. The project is an actual, usable library and it served as Rebar's founding project. The Cabinet National Library is built on the half acre site from a three-drawer file cabinet and includes a card catalog, guest book, guest services, back issues of Cabinet and a snack bar.[11]
In 2010 Rebar was a founding partner and design advisor in the Hayes Valley Farm project team. The project converted an empty lot of about 2 acres bordered by Laguna, Oak, Fell, and Octavia Streets in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, the site of ramps for the former Central Freeway, into a temporary urban farm. The freeway was damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and subsequently torn out, and the lot had been locked up. Rebar was involved in the design of the project concept and fundraising efforts and was later involved in the design and construction of the farm's modular greenhouse and other infrastructure, and its logo.[12]
Designing concrete-to-concrete connections successfully is at the forefront of current engineering design issues, and Hilti has worked hard to help mitigate frustration by crafting post-installed rebar solutions.
Achieving faster, higher quality post-installed rebar design is easier than ever with the new Concrete-to-Concrete (C2C) design module in PROFIS Engingeering. This user-friendly, cloud based application can help designers create connections using higher quality products.
Design post-installed rebar for slab/wall extensions, structural joints, or concrete overlays using a variety of methods including ACI/CSA development lengths, lap splices and anchoring-to-concrete provisions. Verify shear resistance at the interface using ACI shear friction or go beyond model code using research-based methods.
As the consideration for the impact of fire on structural connections grows in the industry, engineers need help to provide solutions for their projects. HIT-FP 700-R is a fire-resistant inorganic adhesive anchor that provides engineers with a solution for their concrete-to-concrete connections to help increase building safety.
The International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) Acceptance Criteria for Mechanical Anchors into Masonry (AC01) and Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Anchors into masonry (AC58) has been upgraded.
The revision of the Acceptance Criteria for post-installed anchors into masonry results in a change in testing and design method, allowing engineers to design Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) for their post-installed connections to masonry.
Structural loads, structural analysis and structural design are simply explained with the worked example for easiness of understanding. Element designs with notes and discussions have added to get comprehensive knowledge. Also, construction materials, shoring system design, water retaining structures, crack width calculations, etc. have discussed in addition to other aspects.
In history, before the invention of the reinforcement steel, different techniques are used to carry the tensile stresses due to the action of load, or structural form was modified in a way that it does not develop the tensile stresses.
The use of the rebar bar in construction extends up to the 15 century for masonry structures. Initially, they mostly used in masonry structures to enhance their capacity. The changing point in the use of the rebar in construction is the 19th century with enhancing its strength by embedding it in the concrete.
Chemicals such as C, Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Mo, Ni, Cu, V, etc are checked and carbon equivalent value is evaluated using the relevant chemicals as shown at the beginning of the article. When the produced analysis is done, it should be less than 0.52.
I have successfully managed to generate a rebar design in Robot, and then I want to get the result in my Revit model. So I use the "update model" tool in the analysis link, and I check the "transfer reinforcement" box.
But when the transfer to Revit is complete, the rebar is not set to the dimensions in Robot, as you can see, the rebar is aligned more to the right than the center. Why is this problem and is there any solution to it?
Anywho, I re-did everything with a new layout and the beam rebar turned out properly aligned, but the column rebar is out of the host. I think it has to do with how Robot displays the analytical model? See the attatched pictures.
I am a structural engineer in East Africa. I seek to understand how to add reinforcement bars (rebar) within the SketchUp context, at the level of good structural construction details, and for mid-rise framed building developments with lots of reinforced concrete components.
I have tried including it using native SketchUp tools, but this is incredibly laborious, and almost impossible, when things are required quickly. It seems 2D tools available even do this much faster. But I want to exclusively try to document structural engineering construction drawings inside SketchUp + LayOut. I do not intend to model as linework inside LayOut, it does not seem right at all. I much prefer to all the 3D modelling inside SketchUp and only manage lines and annotations and the usual set up in LayOut.
