ASTM International announced a workshop on
Corrosion Mitigation and High Strength Steel in Concrete Structures that will be held Monday, May 18, 2009, at the
Hyatt Regency Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Sponsored by ASTM International Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless
Steel and Related Alloys, the workshop will
be held in conjunction with the May 18-21 standards development meetings of the
committee.
The workshop
will address corrosion mitigation and high strength steel, allowing the
attendees to learn of the continuing research in these areas and of the future
development of revised and new standards for corrosion-resistant and high
strength steel reinforcement. During the workshop, advantages and limitations
of several reinforcing materials (i.e., carbon steel, coated steel, alloyed
steel and stainless steels) will be presented.
Opportunities for research and development of advanced corrosion
mitigation techniques will be discussed.
Attendees will
learn of the newest developments in the area of high strength steel
reinforcement. In addition, the workshop will include an overview by Dr. Paul Zia on
“Design Guidelines of High Strength Steel Reinforced Concrete.” This
workshop will hope to identify what research and work is continuing in the
areas of corrosion mitigation and high strength steel reinforcement.
