‘Topic: Steel Reinforcement What are pes of steel reinforcements commonly used? (Class 1 ar reinforcement: = Reinforcement fiom quality assured manufactures, handled by a QA, ‘Stockist and fetining manures lot taceabilig (Class 2 bar reinforcement: = Reinforcement from quality assured manufacturers, handled by a QA Stockist but without retaining manufacturer's lot raceabily (Class 3 bar reinforcement: = Reinforcement other than Class 1 and Class 2 reinforcement, Pimonipasaaase CREM Seite. = UPVC pipes and fittings shall comply with relevant British Standard scconding tothe nature of water to be conveyed and the location ofthe pipe. 2. What are the protection coating applied tothe steel reinforcement? Epoxy coatings ~ Where exposure conditions are particularly severe and where the design life requirement would be dificult to meet with ordinary stel Galvanized coatings + Where exposure is faint severe = ‘Tohave smaller cover than normal in very thin setion 3 What submissions have you checked in respect of steel reinforcement? Before delivery of steel reinforcement: For bar reinforcement, cttifeat from the quality assured stockist in socordance to CS2 ands copy OF the manufacturer's thd panty’ cerieate, + For fabric reinforcement, a certificate from the manufacturer showing the details of the manufscturer and that the reinforcement complies with the requirements stated inthe Contact. Upon delivery of tel reinforcement: = For bar reinforcement, test report containing the details with reference to (C52 shal be submitedBS 366 +2008 1 Before bending of reinforcement starts; Bar bending schedule complying with BS4466 (superseded recently) 4. What should be noted in respect of steel reinforcement? Harling and storage: Reinforcement shall be supported on level ground and not be contaminated ‘No seinforcement shall e stored on or adjacent to concrete surfaces which orm part ofthe permanent work. gs 966 sf Cutng and bending ee = Reinforcement shall be cut and bent in accordance with BSI466 wo the speci shapes and dimensions Grade 460 steel reinforcement shall not be rebent or straightened after bending Faxing ‘Reinforcement shall not start until testing has been completed. Reinforcement shall be fixed rigidly in position and secured against displacement, particular with respect to conereting, and shall be in accordance with the Drawings in terms of bar sizes, spacings, shapes, locations, lap postion and length, covers, te Laps and joints shall be made at the specified location and by the specified ‘method ony. Sulicient cover spacers, chairs, supports and other spacers shall be provided Reinforcement shall not be welded 5. What testing shall be carried out on steel reinforcement? Bar reinforcement: “To determine the yield stress, elongation, tensile strength, bending and ‘rebending properties and unit mass. ‘The batch shall be considered as non-compliance if the requirements of characteristic strength cannot be met For any non-compliance in esults of any test fr elongation, tensile strength, ‘bending: rebending, unit mass, additional samples shall be provided for ditional tests, The whole batch shall be considered as non-compliance if the results of any additional tests still fail to comply the contractrequirements Fabric reinforcement: + To determine the above properties as bar reinforcement, a¢ well s the weld shear strength ~The batch shall be considered as non-compliance if the yield stress is less than 93% ofthe specified characteristic strength = the yield stress lies between 93% and 100% of the specified characteristic strength, additional samples shall be provided for additional tests, and the Whole batch shall be considered as non-compliance if the results of any additional tests shows that the yield stress is less than 93% ofthe specified characteristic strength = Similar to bar reinforcement, for any non-compliance in results of any test for elongation, tensile strength, bending, rebending, unit mass, editional samples shall be provided for additional tests. The whole batch shall be considered as non-compliance ifthe results of any addtional test sil fail to comply the contract requirements,Gar ceyer choc Const)" tae a PN Som + PPRS SEA wy poy wana ante 2h a ‘Sesto’ oe eet mie eect + Sit eye gpg manta cy mance + concatenate Sith ar rentrcament of he sue sa se ant same roma nae ecient ‘Shmed St nay one nado roy su oscar rd Sioned tet esa et eb Spe be ecg Sap alte ce cate En -sncguaan ater st ‘eta on 9 ev won ov crac regh x at ee wt pcr nb at an (Cozens ht pment et eo organ =n de rd i 2 a 280) | a ee Sadan at nh Sees creme anche pa bona gout tt tes nnn ee at
