- [Home](https://www.sria.com.au/): The Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) is now celebrating 50 Years of Technical Leadership founded in 1976 as the national non-profit Steel Reinforcement Promotion Group (SRPG), and evolving into the Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) in recognition of a full-time market need for technical support across the Australian building and construction industry. Since 1988, the SRIA has been supporting Engineers, Designers, Builders, Surveyors, Suppliers, Specifiers and Students interested in understanding the benefits and applications of reinforcing steel in concrete.

## Products
- [Guide to Historical Steel Reinforcement in Australia](https://www.sria.com.au/product/guide-to-historical-steel-reinforcement-in-australia/): $275 for 2-volume hardcover boxed set. Includes GST.   The Guide supports Australia’s need to repurpose, rather than demolish, older reinforced concrete structures to meet future generational needs.   The comprehensive 2-volume hardcover boxed set is an invaluable reference tool for designers wishing to adapt and conserve older reinforced concrete buildings and structures.   It combines all relevant information on reinforcement, concrete, Standards, construction practices and detailing since Australia’s first reinforced concrete structure was built in 1895, including many previous printed industry publications and extracts from Codes and Standards that are now difficult, if not impossible, to source.
- [Guide to Seismic Design and Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Buildings in Australia](https://www.sria.com.au/product/guide-to-seismic-design-and-detailing-of-reinforced-concrete-buildings-in-australia/): $25 per copy. Includes GST.   History has shown that earthquakes exploit the weakest link in structures. Studies of building performance during the Christchurch (2011), Kobe (1995) and Los Angeles (1994) earthquakes have highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of reinforced concrete in terms of both material, design and detailing.   The Seismic Design Guide assists Engineers with the primary aspects of practical seismic design and detailing for Australian conditions.   The Guide’s overall aim is to enable cost effective, simple design solutions by giving the designer the practical detailing information to efficiently determine requirements for the overall structural performance under seismic loadings.
- [Bar & Mesh Gauge Set](https://www.sria.com.au/product/bar-mesh-gauge-set/): FREE plus $10 Shipping Measure the diameter of steel rebar and mesh for conformance to design requirements. Bar Gauge measures N10 to N32 bar sizes, including POL12 Pool Steel.   Mesh Gauge measures all standard Square, Rectangular and Trench Mesh sizes.   Checking reinforcement on site?

## About the SRIA
The Steel Reinforcement Institute of Australia (SRIA) is a not-for-profit industry body for steel reinforcement used in concrete construction in Australia. It provides technical support and information to engineers, designers, builders, surveyors, suppliers, specifiers and students on the use of reinforcing bar and mesh in reinforced concrete.

Its members are Australian steel mills and processors whose reinforcement is independently certified to the Australian Standards, including AS/NZS 4671, AS 3600, AS 5100.5 and AS 2870. The SRIA publishes technical guides, runs seminars, and advises on compliance, durability and the conservation of existing reinforced concrete structures.
