The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) has released a new standard, Diameters, Measuring Points and Fabrication Tolerances for Steel Reinforcing Bars. This mandatory-language standard covers the fabrication requirements for steel reinforcing bars used as reinforcement in concrete structures.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute as a Standards Development Organization (SDO) in April 2013. The scope of CRSI’s standards activities includes the development and maintenance of consensus standards for design, detailing, fabrication, placement, and construction of assemblies consisting of steel reinforcement and associated products used in concrete and masonry construction. CRSI currently has five standards.
Founded in 1924, the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) is a technical institute that stands as the authoritative resource for information related to steel reinforced concrete construction. Serving the needs of engineers, architects and construction professionals, CRSI offers many industry-trusted technical publications, standards documents, design aids, reference materials, and educational opportunities.
