A rebar cover includes a shaft having a first end and a bottom end with a central bore therethrough. A bar tie is extended into the central bore through one or more openings in a sidewall of the shaft. When inserted into the central bore, a looped portion of the bar tie may loop around the rebar. The bar tie includes a ratcheting mechanism to secure the rebar to the rebar cover. The ratcheting mechanism includes a release lever to place the ratcheting mechanism in an open position, thereby allowing the bar tie to be loosened and the rebar cover removed from the rebar.

A rebar anchoring system and method are provided. The system includes: a rebar, with an external thread formed on the periphery of at least one end; an anchoring head, with a first perforation and a second perforation disposed respectively at both ends extending axially into the anchoring head and communicating with each other, the inner sides of the first and second perforations being formed respectively with a first internal thread matching with the external thread of the rebar and a second internal thread, and the anchoring head being mounted on the end of the rebar through the first internal thread and the external thread of the rebar; and a bolt, having a screw rod matching with the second internal thread, the screw rod being locked into the second perforation of the anchoring head, and the end of the screw rod pressing against the end of the rebar.

A protective device to reduce risk of injury from a protruding object a base member has a first surface adapted to face outward from the protruding object and a second surface adapted to face inward toward the protruding object. A first sidewall defines a space. The first sidewall has a first end connected to the second surface of the base member and a second end, which includes an opening adapted to receive the protruding object. The first sidewall extends perpendicularly from the base member. At least one fin is positioned within the first space. A second sidewall defines a second space. At least one finger is positioned within the second space. The at least one finger is connected to and extends from the second sidewall into the second space.

A method and system for forming a post-tensioned concrete slab using a post-tensioning concrete anchor. The system may comprise a connector anchor including a bore that includes a first frustoconical portion, and the connector anchor may be adapted to bear on the post-tensioning concrete anchor. The system may also comprise a coupler comprising a connector and a coupler body that includes a second frustoconical portion that is oriented oppositely to the first frustoconical portion. The connector may have a bore therethrough and may be configured to receive the coupler body and to engage the connector anchor. A pocket-forming cap may releasably engage the post-tensioning concrete anchor; the pocket-forming cap may include a frustoconical wall, a gripping head, and a connector-receiving portion. The method may include using the system to form a second concrete section adjacent to a first concrete section before stressing the first concrete section.

A buckling resistant spring clad bar (BRSCB) assembly is described. The BRSCB assembly includes a plurality of bars arranged to form a perimeter, each of the plurality of bars having a top end and a bottom end. A plurality of springs are provided, wherein at least one of the plurality of springs is wrapped around each of the plurality of bars. A diameter of the at least one of the plurality of spring is greater than a diameter of the each of the plurality of bars. The at least one of the plurality of springs is wrapped around each of the plurality of bars in close contact to provide buckling resistance against a load applied over each of the plurality of bars.
