Hi elmat,

I can always tell a naive or phony writer when they get the engineering vernacular wrong.

In this article, the scribbler kept referring to "reinforced bars", digging a deeper and deeper hole of humiliation for himself as he went along.

The term of art is "reinforcing bar". The concept is that the steel bar (or rod to speak more precisely) is specified to reinforce concrete against tension and shear forces in "reinforced concrete structures".

***
Other than that, it's good to see that the steel market may be returning to more normal conditions.
