When
galvanized steel is specified, the
design requirements and installation procedures
employed should be no less stringent than
for structures where uncoated steel reinforcement
is used. In addition, there are some special
requirements to be observed when galvanized
steel is used. For more information on
specifying galvanized steel your
local
galvanizing association should be contacted. The following suggestions are
intended as a guide for designers, engineers,
contractors, and inspectors. They are intended
as a supplement to other codes and standards
dealing with the design, fabrication, and
installation of reinforced concrete structures,
and deal only with those special considerations
that arise due to the use of galvanized steel.
