8 MM CONCRETE IRON BAR 12 M
1. Summary
Steel concrete is used to reinforce concrete structures, improving their resistance to mechanical stress. It is essential in civil and industrial construction, being used for foundations, walls, slabs, columns and other prefabricated structures.
It is categorised according to its application (main, spreader and erection bars), manufacturing technology (hot/cold rolled), shape (smooth or ribbed), operating characteristics (weldable/not recommended for welding) and dimensions.
Standards vary internationally:
-
Ukraine/CSI: DSTU 3760:2019, GOST 5781-82
-
EU: DIN 488, B500B, B500C
-
USA/Canada: ASTM A615, CSA G30.18-09
Production is by hot or cold rolling, resulting in rods or coils with diameters between 6 and 40 mm.
2. Applications of concrete steel in the construction industry
Steel concrete is an essential element in the construction of modern structures, providing concrete with the strength to withstand high loads and extreme conditions. It is widely used in:
-
Foundation, wall and floor construction
-
Making prefabricated elements (columns, slabs, panels, kerbs)
-
Bridge construction
-
Mining - anchoring and support systems
Classification and types of steel concrete
-
By application:
-
Main beams - support the load of the structure
-
Distribution bars - balance the forces between bars
-
Mounting bars - ensure correct positioning of reinforcement
-
-
After fabrication:
-
Hot / cold rolled
-
With smooth / ribbed surface
-
Pre-tensioned / untensioned
-
Weldable / non-weldable
-
International standardisation
Depending on the region of application, concrete steel is regulated by different standards. These determine strength classes, manufacturing methods, accepted dimensions and operating conditions.

Steel Concrete BST500 - Overview
Origin and Definition
BST500 reinforcing steel, also known as B500S, is a high performance grooved iron originally sourced from Western European countries such as Germany, Austria and Spain. The abbreviation "BST" comes from the German Betonstahl (concrete steel), and the number "500" indicates its yield strength: 500 N/mm².
The reference standard for this type of steel in Germany is DIN 488.
Production in Eastern Europe
Today, BST500 is also produced in Eastern European countries such as:
-
Romania (Târgoviște, Buzău, Focșani)
-
Moldova
-
Ukraine
-
Bulgaria
-
Turkey
Ductility Classes
The BST500 is available in three ductility grades:
Class | Specific deformation | Comment |
---|---|---|
B500A | 2,5% | Low ductility |
B500B | 5% | Medium ductility |
B500C | 7,5% | Highest ductility |
The B500C grade is particularly recommended for demanding structural elements due to its superior flexibility and strength.
Stria Structure
Bars of BST500 are characterised by:
-
Two opposite longitudinal ribs dividing the bar into two halves:
-
First half: alternating striations at 45° and 30°
-
Second half: successive stripes, all at 45°
-
This unique geometry facilitates superior adhesion to concrete.
Technical Features
-
Steel type: B500S
-
Nominal diameter: 6 - 28 mm
-
Yield strength: 500 N/mm²
-
Breaking strength: 550 N/mm²
-
Minimum elongation at break: 10%
Large projects can benefit from savings of between 7% and 12% on the amount of steel required due to the properties of this material.
