ASTM WK84828

Revision of A767/A767M-19 Standard Specification for Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement

Rationale

A767 contains a non-mandatory appendix that has paragraph X1.3.8 discussing avoiding the use of reinforcement having a metal that could cause a galvanic corrosion concern when combined with zinc-coated reinforcement. I am proposing revising that information to take into consideration alternative designs that would avoid the bi-metallic corrosion concern.
