About this document
Stainless Steel Rebar Benefits in Concrete by Babu Sundararaman is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Stainless steel reinforcing bars are being used more for bridges, tunnels, and other structures in corrosive environments. Stainless steel resists corrosion better than carbon steel, and has a expected service life of over 100 years. While stainless steel bars have a slightly higher initial cost, the life cycle cost is lower due to reduced maintenance and repair costs over the long run. Stainless steel has mechanical properties suitable for reinforcement, including high strength and ductility.
