Easy calculator for area of steel rebars Quickly find the area of steel rebars - based on "total number" or "spacing" - for "beams", "slabs" and "shear reinforcement". It's very useful for civil engineers / structural engineers. Includes standard US, CA, and European rebar sizes (metric and non-metric units). FEATURES • Beam Reinforcement calculator (area for a given number of rebars) • Slab Reinforcement calculator (area for rebars based on their spacing) • Shear Reinforcement calculator (area of stirrup legs for the specified spacing) REBAR SIZES / UNITS • US (#) rebar sizes with non-metric units (inch, foot) • Canadian (M) rebar sizes with metric units (mm, m) • European (Φ) standard rebar sizes with metric units (cm, m)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rebars+ at $0.99 against VerCivil's $19.99. Rebars+ also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). VerCivil's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
