What is it about?
The work was centered on characterization of reinforcing steel bar from collapsed building sites in order to verify their properties and their contributions in building collapse

Why is it important?
The contribution of this important building material can be significant in building collapse, therefore, it was important to know and place valuable insights into its used to avoid lost of lives and properties
Perspectives
It was tough to carry out but it was worth it. The work presented explain the difficulty involve in using scraps as major source of raw material in Rebar production as there were high inclusions of deleterious elements in the bar which prevented it to ultimately meet required standard properties
