The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) is a national trade association representing manufacturers, fabricators, and suppliers of steel reinforcing bars (rebar) and related products used in reinforced concrete construction. Its mission is to promote the use of reinforced concrete construction through research, education, technical support, and industry advocacy.
CRSI typically pursues policies related to building codes and standards, infrastructure investment, construction safety regulations, sustainable construction practices, domestic manufacturing, and materials specifications affecting reinforced concrete and steel products.
CRSI is primarily funded through membership dues, industry sponsorships, publications, and educational program revenues.
CRSI’s affiliates include member steel manufacturers and fabricators, regional construction and engineering associations, and collaboration with standards-setting bodies such as the American Concrete Institute and ASTM International.
