Efficient use of reinforcing steel is dependent on good structural design and on the material’s chemical composition, mechanical properties and rib geometry, as well as accurate cutting, bending and fixing. This short guide covers the range of opportunities for designers to reduce the environmental impact of steel reinforcement.

This guide is intended to be read in conjunction with other documents in the Specifying Sustainable Concrete series. More titles in the series.
