Product Description
High Yield Reinforcing Bars (HYRBs) are steel bars that are commonly used to reinforce concrete structures. They are also known as deformed bars, because they are made with a pattern of ridges or indentations on the surface to improve their grip and adhesion to the concrete.HYRBs are made with a high yield strength steel which makes them stronger and more durable than regular reinforcing bars. This added strength allows them to withstand the stresses and loads that are placed on reinforced concrete structures, improving their overall safety and stability.
FAQ

What is the purpose of the deformations on the 12mm reinforcing bar?

The deformations, or ridges, on the reinforcing bar are engineered to improve the mechanical bond between the bar and concrete. This prevents slippage under stress, ensuring better load transfer and long-term structural integrity in reinforced concrete applications.

Is the 12mm rebar suitable for use in foundations?

Yes, this 12mm high yield reinforcing bar is commonly used in foundations due to its strength and compliance with BS 4449:2006. It provides essential support in load-bearing concrete structures, such as footings, pile caps, and slabs.

Can I cut or bend the bar on-site?

Yes, the 12mm yield reinforcing bar can be cut or bent on-site using appropriate tools like rebar cutters and benders. Always follow industry best practices and safety procedures when handling and modifying reinforcement steel.

How do I calculate the weight of a 12mm rebar?

A 12mm rebar typically weighs approximately 0.888 kg per metre. For a 6m length, the total weight is around 5.33 kg. This figure helps when estimating project material needs and transportation requirements.

Does this bar meet UK building regulations?

Yes, the bar conforms to BS 4449:2006 standards for high yield deformed bars, which are widely accepted across the UK for structural reinforcement in residential, commercial, and civil engineering projects.

What?s the difference between high yield and mild steel reinforcement?

High yield steel, like the 12mm bar shown, has higher tensile strength compared to mild steel, allowing for better performance under load and reducing the quantity of steel required in a structure. It's generally used where greater strength and thinner bar profiles are beneficial.
