Placing Reinforcing Bars
CRSI has published this book in the interest of better concrete construction. Improved methods of reinforced concrete design require improvement in the quality control of materials, in fabricating practices and in procedures followed in placing reinforcing steel. This book presents the best-accepted practices in placing reinforcing bars, bar supports, and welded wire reinforcement. It is written primarily for those actually engaged in placing reinforcing steel. It will also serve as a guide to the Field Inspector in judging workmanship and in making field adjustments. Safe reinforced concrete construction depends, to a large extent on the correct location of all reinforcing steel as shown on the project drawings. Skilled workers with a good knowledge of the best practices are of vital importance to safe construction. Those engaged in placing reinforcing steel must know how to unload, handle, place, and tie reinforcing steel. They should also be able to read placing drawings and have a general knowledge of reinforced concrete design. Knowing why reinforcing steel must be placed in a certain way is as important to the skilled worker as knowing how to do it. This book concerns itself with the whys as well as the hows.
