Steel rebars resist fire due to their high melting point and low thermal conductivity. Steel has a melting point of around 1370°C, which is higher than typical temperatures reached in building fires. This allows rebars to maintain their structural integrity even in high-temperature environments. Additionally, steel has a low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not readily transfer heat, minimizing the risk of fire spread and structural failure. The combination of these properties makes steel rebars a reliable choice for reinforcing concrete structures in fire-prone areas.
