Bars: IS:1785 (Part 1)
High strength steel. The normally available sizes are from 20mm to 44mm (5/8 to 1-3/4in) diameter with 20, 22,
25, 28 and 32 mm dia. being more common. The bars are usually threaded with very coarse thread.
Wires:
The nominal dia. of wires are 4.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 8.0 mm. The different types of wires are as follows.
1) Plain wire: No indentations on the surface.
2) Indented wire: There are circular or elliptical indentations on the surface (4mm & 5mm dia only).

3. Clause 13.2.3 of the code specifies that the concrete and the
reinforcement shall be capable of transferring 110% of UTS
(ULS) & crack width shall not exceed 0.25mm at 0.8UTS. This
clause is applicable for both local as well as general zone.

Spalling Reinforcement
1. Clause 13.5.2 describes the need for spalling reinforcement.
2. As per EC2, Area of such reinforcement shall not be less than 0.03
x Pmax / fyd x gp,unfav.
The stresses do not continue to spread beyond the local zone in the horizontal
direction, so no further reinforcement would be necessary.
