BS4449/1997 & BS 4449/2005/ASTM A 615/A 615/M: Reinforcement Steel Specifications

The document compares the specifications for reinforcement steel under three standards: BS 4449/1997 Grade 460B, BS 4449/2005 Grade B500B, and ASTM A 615/A 615M. It outlines the chemical composition requirements, mechanical properties including minimum yield strength and tensile strength, elongation percentages, gauge lengths, mandrel sizes for bend tests, bending angles, and weight tolerances for different bar sizes under each standard.
