Engineering Properties

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.
