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 are the benefits of using deformed reinforcement bars in concrete?

The deformed surface of this reinforcing bar helps it form a mechanical bond with the concrete. This pattern increases friction and reduces the likelihood of slippage under stress, providing better structural integrity and improved load distribution compared to smooth bars.

Is this 12mm reinforcing bar certified for structural use in the UK?

Yes, it is certified to BS 4449:2006 ? a widely recognised British Standard for reinforcement steel. This ensures it meets the necessary mechanical properties and quality control required for use in building and civil engineering projects across the UK.

Can I bend this 12mm high-yield bar on-site?

Yes, the bar is manufactured from Grade B500B steel, which allows it to be bent and shaped on-site using proper rebar bending tools. It retains its mechanical strength if handled within recommended bending parameters, making it suitable for custom configurations on construction sites.

How much does a 6m length of 12mm rebar weigh?

A 12mm diameter reinforcing bar weighs approximately 0.888 kg per metre. Over a full 6-metre length, this totals around 5.33 kg, which is important for transport, installation planning, and calculating load limits.

Can this product be used for precast concrete systems?

Yes, this 12mm high yield reinforcing bar is commonly used in both in-situ and precast applications. It provides excellent tensile reinforcement in precast panels, beams, and columns, ensuring long-term structural reliability.

What is the main difference between high yield and standard mild steel rebar?

High yield reinforcing bar, such as this one, offers much greater tensile strength compared to mild steel. This allows it to support more load or be used in smaller diameters without compromising strength, making it a preferred option for heavily loaded or space-constrained applications.
