This steel meets the demanding requirements of the seismic structural design methods.This reinforcing derives its superior strength and ductility by micro alloying the steel with small vanadium additions. Grade HRB 500E steel is readily: weldable, hot or cold bent, threaded and galvanized. Test Certificates are available for every production batch of this product from us.Deformed HRB 500E, is a micro-alloy, hot-rolled, continuously threaded reinforcing bar which can be cut at any length.High tensile, high ductility plain carbon steel for the reinforcing of concrete available as plain and deformed bars.
Features & benefits:
1.Creates a full strength seismic joint – connectors are designed to exceed the capacity of the high strength 500MPa bar (with the exclusion of some Reidbrace fittings).
2.Eliminates cast in starter-bars for simple transportation, handling and avoids re-bending.
3.Suitable for seismic design, ReidBar is manufactured to 500E steel specification standards.
4.Ultimate strength development is possible with short embedment depths using foot plates
5.Improves structural integrity through joining of the bar with threaded connectors.
6.Removes congestion and can ease construction, eliminating the need for hooked bars.
7.Provides simple solutions for construction problems, reducing labour and material costs.
8.The system is suitable for use in thin concrete sections such as wall panels.
