IfcReinforcingBar
What is IfcReinforcingBar?
IfcReinforcingBar represents a steel reinforcement bar (rebar) embedded in concrete to provide tensile strength. Rebar elements include properties for bar diameter, grade, bending shape, and length. They are typically grouped into rebar sets for scheduling.

Real-World Usage
Rebar scheduling is one of the most data-intensive tasks in concrete construction. Bar bending schedules extracted from the model drive steel fabrication and delivery. Construction teams verify bar placement, spacing, and cover depth before concrete pours.

IfcReinforcingMesh
IfcReinforcingMesh represents a prefabricated welded wire mesh used for reinforcing concrete slabs, walls, and other elements. Meshes provide uniform reinforcement distribution and are faster to install than individual rebar placement.
Building ElementIfcSlab
IfcSlab represents a horizontal construction element that forms the floor, roof, or landing of a building. Slabs can be classified as floor slabs, roof slabs, landing slabs, or base slabs (foundations). They are typically the largest elements by area in a building model.
Building ElementIfcBeam
IfcBeam represents a horizontal or inclined structural member that carries loads primarily by bending. Beams span between columns, walls, or other supports and are fundamental to the structural system of a building. They can be made of steel, concrete, timber, or composite materials.
Building ElementIfcColumn
IfcColumn represents a vertical structural member that transmits loads from beams and slabs to the foundation. Columns are key elements in the structural grid of a building and can be made of concrete, steel, timber, or composite materials.
Building ElementIfcFooting
IfcFooting represents a foundation element that distributes structural loads from columns or walls to the ground. Footings can be pad footings (isolated), strip footings (continuous), or mat/raft foundations depending on the soil conditions and structural loads.
