Characteristic of Rebar
Throughout the reinforcement work, reinforcing bar strongly bonds to mixed concrete and this makes floor, wall and other members very strong. In other words, reinforcement is a bar that is embedded in the mixed concrete to make a member strong. Bar and concrete have low thermal expansion coefficients, 110-5 , and therefore have little thermal deformation or failure, cooperatively strengthening members.

1) Production process of rebar

Ingot : made from melted iron ore and pig iron Billet : made from hot-rolled ingot Reinforcing bar : manufactured per type by hot-roll process from the purchased billet
Type Symbol SD 30A Deformed Rebar SD 30B SD 35 SD 40 SD 50 Resistance Point (kgf/mm2) over 30 30 ~ 40 35 ~ 45 40 ~ 52 50 ~ 64 Classification Green(D:General type) White(D:General type) Red(HD:Density type) Yellow(HD:Density type) Black(HD:Density type)

p.s.) KS Symbol of Deformed Rebar : indicate as SD300, SD350, SD400, SD500

In SD400, S is steel, D is Deformed Bar, 40 indicates that resistance point is over 40kgf/mm2(=400N/mm2=4,000kgf/cm2).

2) Classification of rebar
Regular bars : The length of one strip is 8,000mm by KS(Korean Standard). Each bundle has almost same weight. (basis of 1-2 ton) Irregular bars : Irregular bars that are made of leftovers or nonuniform bars. Reinforcing bars that are mainly used in the construction site are SD40 high strength steel and SD30A mild steel, Each bar is colored yellow(HD) and green(D) respectively in order to identify them. Mild steel usually used as processed goods such as hoop , stirrup , etc.
Type Deformed Bar p.s.) SD:Steel Deformed Symbol SD 30A SD 40 SD 50 Classification Green(D) Yellow(HD) Black

3) Type & Weight of rebar

If the worker in the construction site prepare the bars more than needed, there might be rust on the surface of the rebar. To prevent oxidation of the bar, it is advised to prepare moderate amount of the bars. When you need to pile the bars near the construction site, they should be classified and piled on the big gravels to make the ventilation easy. And also cover the stocked bars to avoid humidity. There are usually two types of deformed steel used in the construction work. SD30A(mild bar) - normal strength bar, has green-colored end SD 40(high tension bar) - high strength bar, has yellow-colored end
