Reinforcing Steel - 03 21 00
Developed in the 1880s, reinforcing steel provides strength and corrosion resistance to concrete structures.
Steel rods of various thicknesses and strengths are embedded in concrete and act as the skeleton for concrete columns, walls, and slabs. Many bridges are built using thousands of tons of reinforcing steel to maintain their strength and durability while facilitating innovative structural designs.

Tips on Estimating Reinforcing Steel Costs from RSMeans
 | When estimating concrete reinforcing costs, ascertain that the reinforcing steel supplier has included all accessories, cutting, bending, and allowences for lapping, splicing, and waste. If no lap specifications are given, a good rule of thumb when estimating the amount of reinforcing steel is to add 10% to your quantities for lapping, splices, and waste. Also, 10% waste should be allowed for welded wire fabric. |
