    STEEL REINFORCEMENT a0 21/93 Section 4.4 of 0 21/93 states that pre 1961 reinforcement may be assumd to have 4 characteristic strength not greater than 230 Wimi?, and for reinforcenent after this date the strength shal] be taken as specified in the appropriate design codes of the period for high yield and mild steel bars. With regard to the above, the characteristic strength of 230 Non? relates to mild steel. It {s not known to what the year 1961 relates, but AS 785 did not specify a minimm yield point ‘or hot rolled mild steel bars until the 1967 revision. Characteristic strength (yield strengths) may be taken from the relevant British Standard material specification as values in Gesign codes refer to material specifications. However design odes may not be specific to the exact type of reinforcement and where more than ong type of bar may fit the design code the Tower value of characteristic strength relating to these bars should be used for the initial assessment, unless records exist to indicate the exact type of bar used. For example a design code may call for high yield steel which may be either hot rolled or cold worked bars which subject to the period uied may have different characteristics strengths The ability of a bar to achieve its characteristic strength may be affected by its bond characteristics and the detatls of the bar as scheduled. Some guidance on the detailing of reinforceent is given in 3.3, - ay - 32 3.24 3.201 Sritish Standard Haterat Speci fications Relevant British Standards specifying yield strength (or failing that tensile strength) of tar reinforcenent are : 1) Bars to structural steel standards (pre 1938) 1.2, BS 15 for wild steel and 85 588 for high yield steel. ii) Hor rolled mild steel and high yield steel bars (pre 1948) to BS 785 and 8S 4449. 144) Cold worked high yield steel bars (pre 1988) to 8s 1166 and 85 4461, |v) Carbon steet bars (post 1986) to 6s 4449 ¥) Stainless steel bars to 0s 6744 vi) Steal fabric to BS 1221 and 85 4483. Sars to structural steel standards (pre 1938) ‘he first aritish Standard for bars for the reinforcenent of concrete (85 785 : 1938) was not introduced until 1998. Prior to this date bars were manufactured to the standards for structural steel, i.e, 85 15 for mild steel and 65 548 for high yield steel.
