The strengthening steel bars used in RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are normally designated as Fe415 or Fe500 depending on their Yield potency. Thus, Fe500 steel means the strengthening steel rods (or bars) that can securely endure a Yield Stress of 500 N/mm2 which is actually stronger than 415 N/mm2 by ~20%.
Uses
- These rodsare preferably used for
- FE500 represents elevated ductility TMT steel rods, which are the best option for usein constructions in seismic zones since ductility and shock resistance offer sturdiness in an incident of an earthquake.
