Deformed Construction Steel (08-32mm)

What is Deformed Construction Steel?

Construction steel bars are specially shaped steel rods placed inside concrete to resist shear and tensile stresses in reinforced concrete structures. Steel bars with ribbed surfaces were not always used in the same way as they are today. Before the 21st century, the construction industry predominantly utilized plain steel bars. Later, it was discovered that the use of plain steel bars in structures caused various damages and did not create adequate adhesion with concrete. As a result, the production and use of deformed steel bars began. In our country, it became mandatory following the 1998 regulations.

Standards and Specifications Related to Deformed Construction Steel:

Deformed steel bars are typically produced in different quality grades such as S235, S420, and S500, each possessing distinct mechanical properties and selected based on their load-bearing capacity. The classification is related to the maximum tensile strength the steel can withstand. Additionally, these bars are manufactured using the hot rolling method, which provides them with high durability, flexibility, and formability. Deformed steel bars are widely used in various construction projects, particularly in heavy structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams.

Places Where Deformed Steel Bars Are Used:

The use of deformed steel bars enhances both the safety and economic efficiency of construction projects. Due to their high strength and low deformation rates, reinforced concrete structures become longer-lasting and more durable. Additionally, the excellent adhesion properties with concrete allow both the concrete and the steel to effectively bear loads together. These characteristics make deformed construction steel an indispensable material in the modern construction industry.
