14.3 GUIDELINES FOR HANDLING, STACKING AND TRANSPORTING OF
14.4 STACKING:
COATED REINFORCING BARS
The durability of the coated rebars is related to the coating quality. The
more damage to the coating is more prone to corrosion. Good, job
site practices can minimize the coating damage. For this reason,
standards from ASTM, JSC, NACE(USA) have laid down specific
procedures for stacking and transporting coated bars. Some important
guidelines are referred here.
i) It is preferable to store the coated bars on buffer material placed
at suitable intervals instead of placing them directly on the
ground.
ii) It is not desirable to store coated bars by piling them on top of
one another they are to be stored by piling buffer materials such
as wood, rubber, jute sacks etc., should be used to separate the
layers. However, the number of layers allowed shall be limited
to a maximum of five.
iii) The coated rods shall be stored in yard.
iv) If any damage had occur during stacking it should be repaired
immediately by the same coating formulation before any rusting
occur.
