Does Rebar Rust?

Thanks, Grady

Seriously, I love this guy's videos. His explanations are simple and straightforward. His tone of voice is interesting enough without either being pedantic or assuming too much prior knowledge for me to understand what he's talking about.

He also builds phenomenal demonstration aids to show exactly what he's showing.

This video explains and shows the main ways we prevent rebar from corroding due to cracking allowing in water or other contaminants. He then demonstrates a significant way to avoid these problems - fiber reinforcement.

He also mentions a couple of possibility of replacing steel rebar with either polymer or basalt (?) rebar and why we aren't doing that just yet.
