A horizontally extending reinforcing bar having a central core in transverse cross-section exhibiting at least three radial fins projecting outwardly symmetrically from the center of the bar to its outer edge. Each pair of adjacent fins define a valley between them containing a pattern of raised surface area. Two in-line reinforcing bars are held together by a coupling device having a housing with multiple flexible inwardly projecting plates from grooves in an inner wall. The plates flex in the direction of insertion of a reinforcing bar and exert a force to prevent removal of the bar. |
