Description:
BS EN 10080:2005
Weldable steel for the reinforcement of concrete has become subject to the European Standard, BS EN 10080. This standard went back and forth over many years seeking a pragmatic agreement amongst Europeans on how to standardise reinforcement. In other words, it has taken a long time to move from being a mandated standard (one that the European Commission asked CEN to prepare) to being a harmonised standard. In 2008 it had to be withdrawn as a harmonized standard because some countries legal requirements for additional proprties of reinforcement were not met. However, it was implemented in the UK in late 2005 and its subsequent withdrawl has no effect on BS 4449 etc.
BS EN 10080:2005 gives no actual specification or figures that is left to the National Standards. requires that technical classes should be specified by values of:
* Re, yield strength;
* Rm/Re, Ratio of tensile strength/Yield strength,
* Agt, Percentage total elongation at maximum force,
* Re,act/Re,nom (where appropriate), Ratio of actual to specified value of yield strength,
* fatigue strength,
* bend performance,
* weldability,
* bond strength,
* tolerances and
* dimensions.
It contains an informative Annex ZA, which describes how the standard may be used for the purposes of CE marking. Please note that the CE mark is not a quality mark. It merely identifies the product as complying with the essential requirement laid down by the European Commission in their 'mandate' to CEN. CE marking is not a requirement of BS 4449:2005.
