This well-worn copy of the 1981 Fourth edition of “Placing Reinforcing Bars” is a testament to its enduring value as a practical guide for construction professionals. Published by the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI), this manual was a vital resource for contractors and engineers working on reinforced concrete projects in the late 20th century. Its detailed instructions and diagrams ensured proper placement of steel reinforcement bars, a critical step in achieving the strength and durability required by the 1977 ACI Building Code and its 1980 Supplement. While newer editions have since been released, this vintage copy offers a glimpse into the evolving standards and techniques of the construction industry during a period of rapid growth and innovation. Collectors of technical manuals and construction history will appreciate the historical context this book provides, while its well-worn condition speaks to its practical use on countless job sites across America.
