EPD: Corrugated reinforcing bar (rebar), Diameter: 9.525-44.45 mm, G42, G52 (ArcelorMittal Mexico)

The products analyzed for this EPD are rated as structural grade material suitable in construction applications. Steel rebar is used as a tension mechanism in concrete structures, to help preserve the concrete as it is compressed. The purpose of the rebar, and the concrete it is reinforcing, are to work under combined loads. Steel is an alloy of iron with varying levels of carbon content depending on its grade. Other elements may also be part of the alloy. The different grades of steel depend on the carbon content and other included alloys, and this allows for many different use cases. (1) Both grades of steel rebar, G42 and G52, modeled for this study are high carbon steel rebar.
