Test methods of steel for reinforcement of concrete
1 Scope
This standard specifies the test methods of steel for reinforced concrete, covering tensile test, bending test, rebending test, axial fatigue test, chemical analysis, geometric dimension measurement, determination of specific projected rib area, determination of mass deviation and metallographic examination of steel bar.
This standard is applicable to steel bar products for reinforced concrete.
This standard is not applicable to prestressed steel.
