This tiny steel mistake can quietly wreck an entire building. Wrong rebar spacing weakens concrete fast. No proper cover? Rust starts and damage follows. Short lap splices can fail load transfer.

The truth: concrete is strong in compression, but without proper rebar, it’s not enough. Most of these mistakes are hidden until it’s too late. Follow for real site construction secrets.
