Preface
The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) is the National Forum for Standardization. The
Brazilian Standards, the content of which is the responsibility of the Brazilian Committees (ABNT/CB), the
Sectorial Standardization Organisms (ABNT/ONS) and the Special Study Commissions (ABNT/CEE), are
prepared by Study Commissions (CE), formed by the parties interested in the theme object of
standardization.
ABNT Technical Documents are prepared according to the rules of ABNT Directive 2.
AABNT draws attention to the fact that, despite having been requested to comment on possible
rights of patentsduring the National Consultation, these may occur and must be communicated to
ABNT at any time (Law No. 9,279, of May 14, 1996).
ABNT Technical Documents, as well as International Standards (ISO and IEC), are voluntary and do
not include contractual, legal or statutory requirements. ABNT Technical Documents do not replace
Laws, Decrees or Regulations, which users must comply with, taking precedence over any ABNT
Technical Document.
It should be noted that the ABNT Technical Documents may be cited in Technical Regulations. In
these cases, the bodies responsible for the Technical Regulations can determine the dates for
demanding the requirements of any ABNT Technical Documents.
ABNT NBR 7480 was prepared by the Brazilian Steel Committee (ABNT/CB-028), by the Commission for the
Study of Steel for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete (CE-028:002.001). The Revision Project circulated in
National Consultation according to Notice No. 03, from 03.17.2022 to 04.18.2022.

ABNT NBR 7480: 2022
4.1.2According to the characteristic value of yield strength, steel bars are classified in categories
CA-25 and CA-50, and steel wires in category CA-60.
4.2 Geometric characteristics
The steel bars and wires must be homogeneous in terms of their geometric characteristics, as
established in 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 6.6.
4.2.1 Category CA-50
4.2.1.1CA-50 category bars must be provided with oblique transverse ribs, as exemplified in Figure
A.1.
4.2.1.2The axes of the oblique transverse ribs must form, with the direction of the axis of the bar, an
angle between 45° and 75°.
4.2.1.3The bars must have at least two longitudinal ribs, continuous and diametrically opposed, that
prevent the bar from turning inside the concrete.
4.2.1.4For nominal diameters greater than or equal to 10.0 mm, the average height of the oblique transverse
ribs must be equal to or greater than 4% of the nominal diameter, and for nominal diameters less than 10.0
mm, this height must be equal to or greater than 2% of nominal diameter.
4.2.1.5The average spacing of oblique transverse ribs, measured along the same generatrix, must
be between 50% and 80% of the nominal diameter.
4.2.1.6The projection of the oblique transverse ribs in the cross section must cover at least 85% of
the nominal perimeter of the cross section of the member.
4.2.1.7When the transverse rib touches the frieze/longitudinal rib, the requirement in 4.2.1.6 shall
be considered serviced.
NOTE The specifications of 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.1.6 are illustrated in the schematic drawing of Figure A.1.
4.2.1.8Other geometric configurations of ribbed bars other than the one exemplified in Figure A.1
may be used, provided they comply with the provisions of 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.1.3 and the minimum
surface conformation coefficient established in Table B.3.
4.2.1.9The surface conformation coefficient values for each diameter are determined through
laboratory tests, as described in 6.7.3, and must meet the minimum adherence parameters shown
in Table B.3.
4.2.2.1The wires must be ribbed.
4.2.2.2The fine series of CA-60 cited in Table B.2 must have the surface conformation coefficient
value adopted as equal to 1 (η = 1). The value of the surface conformation coefficient for the
medium and thick series of CA-60 mentioned in Table B.2 are determined through laboratory tests,
as described in 6.7.3, and must comply with what appears in Table B.3 .

ABNT NBR 7480: 2022
The CA-25 category must have a smooth surface, devoid of any type of ribs. A value equal to 1 (η = 1)
must be adopted as the surface conformation coefficient for all diameters.

b) the satisfactory results of the tensile and bending tests of all individual specimens removed as per
6.4. In the case of unidentified batches, the tensile test results must comply with the following
equation:
fyk, it's≥fyk (1)
where
fykis the characteristic yield strength established for each grade of steel
according to Table B.3, represented by the following equation:
fy1+fy2+ ... +fym −1 (two)

fyk, it's= 2 − fym
m−1
where
m=3 for samples with six specimens and 6 for samples with twelve specimens; It is
fy1Thefynare the individual results obtained for yield stress in the tensile test, sorted in
ascending order (fy1≤fy2≤ ... ≤fym≤ ... ≤fyn), which cannot be adopted for fyk, it's
less than the product ψ6×fy1, being ψ6 =0.92 with six copies and ψ12 =0.99 for samples with
12 specimens.
7.1.2If one or more of the requirements and test results referred to in 7.1.1 do not meet the
provisions of this Standard, a single countertest must be performed, with the new sample formed as
indicated in 6.4.3. If the results of the countertest fully comply with the provisions of 7.1.1, the batch
is approved.

ABNT NBR 7480: 2022
7.1.3The adhesion test is the material characterization test, not being considered a reception test.
For the approval of each series and category of steel, the manufacturer must present the results of
this test, which are carried out periodically as described in 7.1.4.
NOTE The supplier has the right to monitor the sampling and counterproof tests.
7.1.4The manufacturer must carry out an adherence test for each series in its categories. This test
must be carried out every three years, alternating the diameters that make up each series and
category.
7.1.5Fatigue tests are not considered receiving tests and are performed only to characterize the
material steel.
NOTE The supplier has the right to monitor the sampling and counterproof tests.
7.2disapproval
The batch fails if at least one of the following conditions occurs:
a) does not meet the requirements specified in 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6;
b) in the counterproof test there is at least one result that does not satisfy the requirements of this Standard;
c) does not comply with the expression in 7.1.1-b) for unidentified batches (see 6.4.3.2).

to meet the mechanical property requirements, the producer is free to select the other elements.
NOTE Usually vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) are used
and molybdenum (Mo).
C.1.4 When necessary, a chemical check analysis (check analysis)

in the final product (rebar), which must be representative for the original run of the product.
However, variations in the maximum levels established in Table C.1 are allowed in the results
obtained, due to the conditions for carrying out this verification. Allowed tolerances are established
in Table C.2.
