New technology has been developed that increases the bond strength of smooth steel tubes with concrete by a factor of 4 to 5 times, making this a viable way to reduce construction costs and increase the speed of construction considerably compared to rebar. This will allow steel tube producers to gain entry into a growing market segment.
