Reinforced concrete has achieved regulatory capture via the building codes. If you try to build with anything non-standard, prepare to deal with a mountain of red tape.

I don't believe you would encounter any red tape if you used hot-dipped galvanized rebar - I believe it is code-compliant everywhere in North America.

It is, however, more expensive ...
