New Galvanized Reinforcing Steel (Rebar) Website, Brochure, & Technical Center Launched
Durham, North Carolina (PRWEB) April 25, 2016 -- Corrosion damage to reinforced concrete structures costs an estimated $20 billion annually in the U.S. alone and this figure is expected to grow by $500 million each year as existing infrastructure continues to age.
The International Zinc Association (IZA) and the American Galvanizers Association (AGA), in partnership with 12 leading galvanizers announce the launch of a newly redesigned Galvanized Rebar website (http://www.galvanizedrebar.com), a new a rebar market-focused brochure and a galvanized rebar technical service center.
The responsive website (http://www.galvanizedrebar.com) features technical information related to specifying and designing with galvanized rebar, as well as performance and cost data. An FAQ section provides answers to many questions regarding galvanized rebar, while the Specification section provides an overview of the global standard specifications for zinc coated reinforcing steel.
The site also features case studies from all parts of the world including the Boca Chica Bridge in Key West, Florida, the Sydney Opera House, The National Theater in London, and the New NY Bridge. The Publication section includes downloadable publications with comprehensive information on galvanized reinforcing steel. Additionally, galvanizers and suppliers contact information is provided.
The brochure "Galvanized Rebar: It Works." is also available for download on the site. This brochure provides a broad overview of the many benefits of utilizing galvanized rebar in concrete projects. Readers are provided galvanized rebar information and a glimpse of beautiful project photos.
The Galvanized Rebar Technical Center can be reached via email (rebar(at)galvanizeit(dot)org) (+1-720-361-4485) or at Galvinfo.com (+1-888-880-8802). .
