ASTM A615/A615M-07 Standard Specification for Deformed and Plain Carbon-Steel Bars for
Concrete
1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain carbon-steel bars for concrete reinforcement in
cut lengths and coils. Steel bars containing alloy additions, such as with the AISI and SAE series
of alloy steels, are permitted if the resulting product meets all the other requirements of this
specification. The standard sizes and dimensions of deformed bars and their number
designations are given in Table 1 . The text of this specification references notes and footnotes
which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables) shall
not be considered as requirements of the specification.
1.2 Bars are of three minimum yield strength levels: namely, 40000 [280 MPa], 60000 [420
MPa], and 75000 psi [520 MPa], designated as Grade 40 [280], Grade 60 [420], and Grade 75
[520], respectively.

Galvanized
High strength (e.g. tensile strength =1550 MPa
Elongation (e.g. 4% in 250 mm)
Coating elongation (e.g. no peel on 1.5x wire diameter mandrel)
Wire size: 4.88 (more common) and 4.11 mm dia
Supplied in large diameter rolls (e.g. 1.5m) to prevent coating failure
and to facilitate spinning on site
Wires can be pre-assembled into strands at factory then made into
cables (or run parallel) on site
