    Distribution bars placed on the top of the main bar. Main reinforcement bars are used to transfer the bending moment developed at the bottom of the slab. Distribution bars are used to hold the slabs on either way and to resist the cracks and shear stress developed at the top.

    The most active part of cement is the material finer than 10-15 nanometer. Furthermore, a fine grind of cement clinker is able to coat the surfaces of aggregates more completely than coarse material enabling intimate contact of the resultant paste or mortar.
