This 296-page guide features 18 heavily illustrated chapters and serves as the definitive resource for preparing provisions in project specifications. It is available for purchase as a hard copy, digital download (via a 1-device license), or a bundle of both through the CRSI webstore.

Concrete Cover and Clearances Concrete cover—the distance from the outside face of concrete to the nearest reinforcement—protects steel from corrosion and fire, and ensures proper bond. CRSI reiterates that specified cover must be maintained using approved chairs, bolsters, spacers, and concrete blocks. Chairs and supports should be noncorrodible or epoxy-coated where required, and sized to resist displacement during concrete placement. Maintaining clearances between parallel bars and between bars and forms avoids congestion and ensures concrete consolidation around reinforcement. Crsi Placing Reinforcing Bars.pdf

The Gold Standard for Rebar Placement – Clear, Detailed, and Practical

Per ACI 117 and CRSI:

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute’s (CRSI) "Placing Reinforcing Bars" (10th edition) is the industry-standard guide for field installation, detailing best practices for handling, storing, and placing rebar. The text covers essential topics including safety, bar supports, splicing, and structural requirements for footings, walls, and bridges.
