Does Rebar Rust?

Check out the first two videos on concrete if you haven't seen them already:
- What is Concrete? (What is Concrete?)
- Why Concrete Needs Reinforcement (Why Concrete Needs Reinforcement)

While steel reinforcement solves one of concrete’s greatest limitations, it creates an entirely new problem: Corrosion of embedded steel rebar is the most common form of concrete deterioration. There are lots of ways to combat this problem, a few of which we discuss/demonstrate in this video, including fiber reinforced concrete, adequate protective cover, and fiber reinforced polymer bars.
