A reinforcing bar is usually made of steel with manufactured deformations in the surface, and used in concrete and masonry construction to provide additional strength. A single instance of this class may represent one or many of actual rebars, for example a row of rebars.
HISTORY New entity in IFC2x2
IFC 2x4 CHANGE All attributes are optional now. Several attributes are deprecated; their information now provided by IfcReinforcingBarType. Attribute BarRole renamed to PredefinedType.
Geometry Use Definition
Placement and representation are defined at the supertype IfcElementComponent.
The representation map of a mapped 'Body' representation should contain a representation of type 'AdvancedSweptSolid' which holds an IfcSweptDiskSolid (including subtype IfcSweptDiskSolidPolygonal).
