Lapped Splices for Deformed Bars in Tension

In AS3600, clause 13.1.2.1 states that the development length (L sy.t) to develop the yield strength (fsy) of a deformed bar in tension shall be calculated as follows: k1k2fsy Ab L sy.t = 25k1db where (2a + db)fc
k1 = 1.25 for a horizontal bar with more than 300mm of concrete cast below the bar; or = 1.0 for all other bars k2 = 1.7 for bars in slabs and walls if the clear distance between adjacent parallel bars developing stress is not less than 150mm = 2.2 for longitudinal bars in beams and columns with fitments = 2.4 for any other longitudinal bar fsy = the yield strength of the reinforcing bar Ab = the cross sectional area of the reinforcing bar 2a = twice the cover to the bar or the clear distance between adjacent parallel bars developing stress, whichever is less db = the nominal diameter of a bar fc = the characteristic compressive cylinder strength of concrete at 28 days

Quick Reference Table Tension Lap Lengths Choose the section of the table with the relevant cover and concrete strength (fc) on the same line, refer to this section for the tension lap length relating to the bar diameter listed in the two shaded sections (refer below for shading). If the required cover or concrete strength is not listed use the closest lower values of cover and concrete strength. Common bar chair sizes (mm) are: 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 65, 75+

Threading 500PLUS REBAR

10

The design tensile strength of fine-threaded 500PLUS REBAR (Ntf) can be determined in accordance with AS4100 Steel Structures. Based on the results of testing, fine-threaded 500PLUS REBAR has reduced nominal yield strength equal to 75% of the nominal yield strength (500 MPa) and a reduced nominal tensile strength equal to 85% of the nominal tensile strength (540 MPa) based on the thread stress area. It follows that OneSteel 500PLUS REBAR, when cut with AS1275 metric threads and fitted with AS1112 Property Class 5 nuts, has the values of design tensile strength (Ntf) specified in the adjoining table. These design tensile strengths are based on the effective tensile stress areas from AS1275, a strength reduction factor = 0.8, and a nominal tensile strength equal to 0.85 x 540 = 459 MPa.
* Denotes second choice thread size. Nuts may be difficult to obtain. N.B. Engineers should be aware that threading reinforcing bars this way also reduces the ductility to less than the minimum requirements for Class N bars specified in AS/NZS 4671.

Bending & Rebending 500PLUS REBAR

16

Bending/Rebending & Welding Practice Notes A number of situations may arise where bars must be bent or rebent on site, or where pre-bent bars must be straightened. For smaller diameter bars (i.e., 10, 12 & 16mm), this is preferably performed at ambient temperature, as this has the least effect on steel properties. Please observe the following: The initial bend should be performed around a mandrel or former of diameter specified in the relevant code, and generally not less than 4db. Rebending or straightening should be performed using a powered bending tool, or a pipe with internal diameter not greater than 2x the nominal bar diameter. Do not use impact blows to bend or rebend the steel. Take care to minimise surface damage and visually inspect rebent area for cracks.

* The bending limits shown in this column have been specified in AS 3600 to minimise spalling of the galvanised coating.

For larger diameter bars, the application of heat (e.g. from an acetylene flame) may be used to reduce the bending force, but a reduction in bar strength may result. Further details on bending/rebending & welding 500PLUS REBAR can be found at www.reinforcing.com
A pipe must not be used to make the initial bend, or to rebend back past the straight position. Rebending of bars that have been bent prior to galvanising is not recommended, as cracking on the inside of the original bend may result.

Heating & Welding 500PLUS REBAR

18

After heating, the resulting ambient temperature properties of reinforcing steels may be significantly altered. This is an important consideration if heat has been applied to assist with bending bars, through welding, or the effect of fire. To effectively manage the temperature control during the heating or welding process the use of temperature control crayons is recommended. Heating Heating should be avoided if the original bar properties are required. Bending should always be around a former of the appropriate size (refer processing to AS3600). AS3600 states in clause 19.2.3.1 that reinforcement may be bent hot, provided that: i) the steel is heated uniformly through & beyond the portion to be bent o ii) the temperature of the steel does not exceed 600 C iii) the bar is not cooled by quenching

iv) if during heating the temperature of the bar exceeds 450 C, the design yield strength of the steel after bending shall be taken as 250 MPa. Welding 500PLUS REBAR produced by the TEMPCORE process and microalloyed 500PLUS coiled rebar has a maximum carbon equivalent (Ceq) of 0.44. max and, as such, requires no pre-heating prior to welding. Pre-heating is not required when welded in accordance with the AS/NZS1554 part 3. Hydrogen controlled electrodes will be required for all weld types, and matching strength electrodes will be required for butt welds. Note: Some types of welded splices can reduce the ductility of the connected bars.

500PLUS BAMTEC Reinforcing Carpets

Benefits BAMTEC is the worlds fastest steel fixing system. It involves designing and prefabricating reinforcing steel carpets to a wide range of shapes and sizes. Individual rebars are welded to flexible steel straps, which can connect up to hundreds of bars together, and the carpet is rolled up for handling and transport. The carpets can contain different types and sizes of bars, have bars at different spacings and can accommodate complex shapes and penetrations. When needed on site, the carpet is simply lifted into place and unrolled onto continuous bar chairs. Super-fast construction Save up to 80% on steel-fixing costs Ideal for suspended slabs, slab on ground, CRCP and tilt-up panels Improves cost effectiveness of slab construction Variable spacing and bar diameters available Improved accuracy and quality Less material waste and scrap Design assistance available Less bending and carrying Easier chairing and no bars to sort Simpler marking plan

30

Size limits The minimum diameter of bar which can be used with BAMTEC is 10mm. The largest diameter used is 32mm Class N 500PLUS REBAR. The minimum bar spacing is 50mm up to a maximum spacing of 400mm. BAMTEC comes in widths from 1.8m minimum to 15m. Maximum mass per carpet is approximately 1.6 Tonne.
