Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI)

Founded in 1924, the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) is a national trade association that stands as the authoritative resource for information related to steel reinforced concrete construction. CRSI Industry members include manufacturers, fabricators, and placers of reinforcing bars and related products. Our Professional members are involved in the research, design and construction of reinforced concrete. Together, they form a complete network of industry information and support.

Engineering

CRSI’s engineering staff and technical committees actively participate in building code and specification groups to ensure that reinforcing steel issues are appropriately represented. CRSI’s highly respected publications are used throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Marketing

CRSI marketing development efforts focus on regional and national promotions. Regional programs specifically target key decision makers on a local level. National programs promote the advantages of using reinforcing conventionally, prestressed, or post-tensioned reinforced concrete as a structural system and also provide the tools for effective regional promotion.
