1. For more than three decades now, Hong Kong builders have displayed a voracious appetite for steel bars used in the reinforcement of concrete. Such bars are known as "rebars". Rebars come in two types. Firstly, there is the mild steel variety, which is normally round in cross-section. Then there is high-tensile, which is not necessarily round, but can be "deformed" in the sense of being oval in cross-section, and may be "ribbed" for the better adherence of concrete.
