The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) routinely receives inquiries concerning various aspects of steel reinforcing bars, and reinforced concrete design and construction. This Technical Note presents a collection of typical questions that are asked regarding low-carbon, chromium steel, which is known as ASTM A1035 Types CS, CM and CL reinforcing bars. Most of these questions come from licensed design professionals (LDPs): structural engineers, architects, field personnel (inspectors, code enforcement personnel, and contractors), FHWA, USDOT, and US state and Canadian transportation agencies.
