ASTM A615

ASTM A615 is a standard specification for deformed and plain carbon-steel bars used as reinforcement in concrete structures. It ensures these steel bars meet specific quality, strength, and fabrication requirements to provide reliable support within concrete. The standard covers different grades, primarily focusing on strength and ductility, and specifies sizes and marking requirements. By adhering to ASTM A615, engineers and builders can ensure that the steel reinforcement will perform consistently, contributing to the safety and durability of concrete constructions like buildings, bridges, and highways.
