Specification for steel for the reinforcement of concrete – Weldable reinforcing steel – Bar, coil and decoiled product

OVERVIEW

This Singapore Standard specifies requirements for ribbed weldable reinforcing steel used for the reinforcement of concrete structures. The standard covers steel delivered in the form of bars, coils and decoiled products. The standard contains provisions for six steel grades, both of 500 MPa and 600 MPa characteristic yield strength, but with different ductility characteristics. The six grades are B500A, B500B, B500C, B600A, B600B and B600C.

The weldability requirements for all grades of steel are specified in terms of the chemical composition, and in particular the carbon equivalent value.

Steel bars produced by re-rolling finished products, or by rolling material of which the metallurgical history is not fully documented or not known, are not covered by this Singapore Standard.

COMMENTS

This standard was first published in 2016. It was confirmed with amendments in 2024. Amendments can be obtained from the Singapore Standards eShop.
