Stainless steel reinforcement
Stainless steel reinforcement is always used in situations where chlorides tend to attack moisture-bearing components or sensitive areas.
Stainless steel reinforcement is therefore used, for example, in tunnel and basement construction and in the refurbishment of multi-storey car parks. However, floor slabs, underground car parks and specialised areas within buildings (hospitals, machine rooms, technical control rooms) are now also being designed and constructed using stainless steel reinforcement.
In many federal states, the cap reinforcement of bridges on motorways and trunk roads has long been constructed using stainless steel; abutments and drag plates are now also an integral part of the design.
Furthermore, a reduction in concrete cover is possible in new construction, which offers architects and designers new design possibilities and leads to weight savings whilst maintaining comparable safety and service life.
The economic and private-sector damage caused by corrosion across all areas of infrastructure is immense, arising both from repair and maintenance costs and from consequential costs such as the need for replacement structures, traffic congestion, closures or relocation.
Stainless steel reinforcement offers a way to significantly prevent corrosion and thus save costs.
This is achieved partly through its passive surface layer, but also through its consistent cross-section over a long period; in particular, the rib geometry remains unchanged in the long term.
In Germany, several materials have been approved for use in construction by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt).
We stock all materials in sufficient quantities, so that deliveries can normally be made promptly.
We deliver your complete stainless steel reinforcement to your construction site on the agreed date.
For this, we require the plans or bending lists you have available in PDF format; alternatively, we are of course also happy to process BVBS files.
Delivery is normally made by lorry under cover or with a tarpaulin; all necessary plastic loops or Big-Packs are supplied.
Chloride resistance
Extend the service life, keep costs under control
The comparative table showing the chloride resistance of various types of reinforcing steel is provided for reference only. The values for the critical chloride concentration (Ccrit), as specified in technical reports or similar publications, are decisive for classifying chloride resistance. (Source: Steeltec AG)
