“High-Strength
Rebar Called Revolutionary”
Engineering News Record
After years of struggling to improve constructability of tall
concrete frames in high seismic zones, a solution is in the works–code–approved
use of high–strength reinforcing steel for seismic confinement of
high–strength concrete.

Steels that have good ductility can be bent, stretched, formed, and fabricated
without breaking. MMFX steels are high-strength and at the same time maintain
high levels of ductility, allowing these steels to be integrated into
applications demanding these combined properties.

Report Card 2005
According to this report, between 2000 and 2003, the percentage
of the nation's 590,750 bridges rated structurally deficient
or functionally obsolete decreased slightly from 28.5% to 27.1%. However,
it will cost $9.4 billion a year for 20 years to eliminate all bridge
deficiencies. Long-term underinvestment is compounded by the lack of a
Federal transportation program. For the complete report: http://www.asce.org/reportcard/2005/index.cfm
