Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...

At their recent meeting on November 9, the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) Board of Directors urged all CRSI producer members to revert to an inch-pound bar marking system for all sizes ...

Rebar, which is short for "reinforcing bar", is a type of bar typically made from carbon steel. It is normally installed inside cast cement concrete in order to increase the tension strength of the ...

Need a quick reference for common reinforcing steel data and information? Enter the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute’s Rebar Reference mobile app. Rebar Reference provides ASTM standard rebar ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

Reinforcing steel and ribbed reinforcement bars (rebars) are essential to civil engineering, forming a category of key structural materials which, in the case of concrete-reinforcing steel, are ...

The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...
