The advantages of using stainless steel rebars are the following

  • Stainless steel in environment friendly.
  • It has good resistance against corrosion (no need of surface protection).
  • It has good engineering properties.
  • The cover of concrete can be reduced if stainless steel bars are used.
  • It is easy to handle.
  • It helps reduces maintenance.
  • Stainless steel is recyclable.
  • It is design, detailing and construction techniques are similar to that of ordinary steel bars.
