Hello everybody.
Would anybody be as kind to advise me of any online resources concerning Caribbean building/reinforced bockworking. I am a second year brickwork student in the u.k. But we dont cover block building with rebar and poured concrete. I know that this method is used in various regions and I would be most grateful if anybody could throw any light on the subject or decent online learning resources. Sorry for my naiveity and thanks in advance.

Regards

Neil

One big problem in Key West - that's well into the Caribbean climate,
but still U.S. - is deterioration of concrete and reinforcing from salt
in the water. U.S. Navy had chunks of concrete falling from big
structures because of this. One solution tried was epoxy coated
reinforcing.

Portland Cement Association might have info.
