Hot dip galvanizing is a viable means of protecting reinforcement, particularly where the durability of concrete cannot be guaranteed. Its use should be considered for harsh exposure conditions, precast construction and prestige facades where long life, freedom from rust staining and low maintenance are important criteria. Rust-stained surfaces and cracking and spalling of concrete in recently completed structures demonstrate the wide need to protect steel reinforcement. In: After Fabrication Hot Dip Galvanizing - A practical reference for designers, specifiers, engineers, consultants, manufacturers and users by Galvanizers Association of Australia www.gaa.com.au
