Ribbed/Deformed Bar
A deformed bar is a bar whose
surface is provided with ribs and lugs
which inhibit longitudinal movement
of the bar relative to the concrete
which surrounds the bar.

Plain Bar
A plain bar is a bar without any deformation or
surface irregularity over the surface and with
uniform area of cross section throughout the
length.

Thermo-Mechanically Treated
TMT bar can withstand high temperatures for prolonged period without losing it’s
structural strength. TMT bar can survive temperatures between 400-600 degree
Celsius.

Proportional Limit
The point in the stress strain graph up to which stress is directly proportional to strain.

Elastic Point
The elastic limit of steel is the point at which the steel will permanently deform when
an external load is applied.

Yield Point
The point at which the material transforms from elastic to plastic is known as the yield point.

Ultimate Tensile Strength

The maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking.

Fracture/Breaking Point
The fracture or breaking point of a material refers to the instant at which steel reaches its maximum
stress/strain resilience and suffers fracture or failure.

CONCRETE
Concrete Grades
The minimum compressive strength the concrete must posses after 28 days of
construction with proper quality control.
