How do I extend an existing RCC slab?
The existing slab should be chipped out to expose the re-bars. The length of re-bars thus exposed should be at least be sufficient to develop the bond length. For every bar exposed new bars from the new slab side should be tied. Prepare the existing concrete surface to bond to the new concrete that will be placed.

What is Rebaring in construction?
Rebaring is the method of insertion of the Steel bars when, When Steel rod as per drawing has not been installed. Rebaring technique is reinforced concrete construction is a method for proper fabrication and placement of reinforcement bar as per the design and drawing of RCC work.
Can you bond new concrete to old concrete?
A bonding agent (bonding adhesive) needs to be painted onto the existing concrete first to ensure that the fresh concrete will successfully adhere. This is also true of floor repairs, if concrete is used to fill gaps caused by damage. The new won’t adhere to the old without the help of a bonding adhesive.
