Stainless Steel
When the primary risk to a structure is corrosion of the reinforcement, the use of stainless steel reinforcement is one preventive measure.
Stainless steel reinforcement is becoming more widely used and incorporated into new design codes and standards.
There are numerous grades of stainless steel that can be optimised for use in different environments, thus reducing maintenance and repair costs.
Each grade of stainless steel is resistant to a given amount of pollutants before it begins to deteriorate.
In this sense, it must be mentioned that service life can be guaranteed with a correct design and materials selection.
