Steel for the reinforcement of concrete - Stainless steel

Scope

This document specifies product characteristic test/assessment method and the way of expressing test results for stainless steel as defined in EN 10088-1:2014 and designated as in EN 10088-1:2014 for the use of the reinforcement of concrete.
It applies to stainless steel products with ribbed or indented surfaces, which are in the form of:
- bars and coils (rod, wire);
- sheets of factory-made machine-welded fabric;
- lattice girders and hybrid lattice girders composed by stainless steel and by weldable reinforcing steel according to prEN 10080:2023.
Steels according to this document have a ribbed, indented or smooth surface.
NOTE The protrusions between indentations of indented reinforcing steel have the same function as transverse ribs of ribbed reinforcing steel. There is no definition, which specifies the difference between ribbed and indented surface geometry. Therefore, in this document, the same bond parameters are used for ribbed and indented steel.
This document does not apply to:
- pre-stressed stainless steels;
- indented strip;
- stainless steel tube filled with carbon steel swarf, which is then hot or cold reduced;
- stainless steel smooth bar with weld material deposited on it;
- galvanized reinforcing steel;
- epoxy-coated reinforcing steel.
