STK0416 – Stainless steel reinforcement

Description

Date: 23 September, 2023. Webinar

Estimated Time: 1 hr

Language: English

Summary of the lecture

Stainless steels are one of the ultimate low or zero maintenance materials therefore if you would like to learn more about how reinforcement by selectively using stainless steels can provide us with safe, sustainable and cost-effective structures over the long term.

At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze the role of stainless steel reinforcement in improving the longevity of concrete structures.
  • Evaluate the impact of chloride-induced corrosion on infrastructure durability.
  • Compare traditional and stainless steel reinforcement in terms of lifecycle costs and sustainability.
  • Apply selective stainless steel reinforcement strategies to optimize cost and performance in construction.

Tim was born and grew up in the home of UK stainless steelmaking, Sheffield. Whilst at school he worked part-time for his father making steelworks thermocouples and laboratory furnaces. After leaving school he studied metallurgy at university and joined British Steel Stainless immediately after graduating. A succession of industry mergers saw Tim undertaking senior stainless technical, operations and supply chain roles in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK before joining the ISSF (now worldstainless) in August 2019. During his career Tim also found time to study Goldratt’s teaching on lean flow and operations, gain a post￾graduate diploma in operations and inventory management and a masters degree in business administration.
