Investigating States of Locally Manufactured Steel Reinforced Bars through Mechanical and Chemical Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Steel reinforced bars are increasingly becoming important and demanding for their role in reinforced concrete structures for which accurate information about their properties and chemical composition is becoming essential during the manufacturing stage. The minimum required properties of the bars is determined with the aid of international standards such as ASTM A615 within Saudi Arabian manufacturers. In this work, the variation within the mechanical properties and chemical composition of various reinforced steel produced in KSA was evaluated. Experimental tests were performed on ASTM A615 Grade 60 samples to obtain their yield, tensile strength, elongation and chemical composition. Statistical analysis showed the selected properties follow different types of continuous distributions for their respective cases. Finally, control charts have been generated to identify results falling above and below 3-sigma. Results showed that 1.5%, 3% and 7.3% of samples failed to meet the minimum ASTM criteria for yield, tensile strength and weight; while less than 3% of steel bars failed to meet ASTM standards for chemical composition.
