Scope*1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain steelreinforcing bars in cut lengths, with a head attached to one orboth ends,

3、 for concrete reinforcement. Attachment can beaccomplished through welding, by integrally hot forging of ahead from the reinforcing bar end, by internal threads in thehead mating to threads on the bar end, or by a separate threadednut to secure the head to the bar. Heads are forge formed,machined fr

20、provided by the purchaserin the order. Head dimensions shall define the head geometryincluding thickness, height, and width of the head (Fig. 1).Alternate head dimensions supplied by the manufacturer shallbe permitted if agreed to in advance by the purchaser. Themanufacturer shall furnish documentat

21、ion to the purchaser, inthe form of calculations or test reports, or both, that confirmsthe suitability of alternate head dimensions for the intendedapplication.5.4 WeldingA welding procedure conforming to AWSD1.4/D1.4M shall be used for all required production weldingof the head to the bar, except

22、for friction welding that shallconform to AWS C6.1 in conjunction with the manufacturersQA/QC procedures.5.5 ForgingFor integrally forged headed bars, the headsshall be produced by deforming the bar ends in a hot-forgingprocess.5.6 Threading:5.6.1 Threads on bars shall be either tapered or straight.

23、 Thehead shall either thread onto the bar directly, or it shall be heldon the bar end by a nut and counternut. Thread specificationsand standards shall be selected by the manufacturer unlessotherwise agreed with the purchaser.5.6.2 The out-of-roundness in the rolled reinforcing barshall be evaluated

24、 so that the manufacturers minimum threaddimensions are maintained.5.6.3 It shall be permissible to hot- or cold-roll, or machinecut, threads into the surface of the bar and heads at the optionof the manufacturer.6. Mechanical Test and Performance Requirements6.1 Headed bars shall be subjected to me

25、chanical tests toverify production method and product quality prior to manu-facture. Mechanical testing also shall be performed at intervalsduring production.6.2 Tensile Tests:6.2.1 Tensile testing of the headed bar assembly shall beperformed in accordance with the requirements described inTest Meth

26、ods and Definitions A 370. Failure mode shall bereported as partial or total fracture of the bar, the head, or thehead-to-bar connection.6.2.2 Specimen PreparationTensile test specimens shallbe the full cross-section of the bar with a head attached to oneend of the reinforcing bar. The minimum lengt

27、h of the testspecimen shall be the greater of 250 mm 10 in. or ten timesthe nominal diameter of the bar. The test specimen shall beplaced in the testing machine with the head supported toprevent movement and bending of the head. Provisions shall bemade for clearance between the support and any weld

28、orforming material on the reinforcing bar-to-head connection.The opposite bar end of the bar, without a head attached, shallbe gripped by the testing machine and loaded to failure.6.3 Tensile Requirements:FIG. 1 Headed Reinforcing BarA 970/A 970M 0726.3.1 Tensile PropertiesThe tensile properties of

29、the testspecimen shall conform to one of the following classes:6.3.1.1 Class ADevelop the minimum specified tensilestrength of the reinforcing bar.6.3.1.2 Class BDevelop the minimum specified tensilestrength and the minimum specified elongation of the reinforc-ing bar.NOTE 2Reference Specifications

30、A 615/A 615M and A 706/A 706Mrequirements for minimum reinforcing bar tensile properties. Class A hasbeen introduced for applications that only require the development of theminimum tensile strength of the reinforcing bar. The Class B criteriarequires the head and the head-to-bar connection to meet

31、or exceed theminimum specified tensile strength and the minimum specified elongationrequirements of the reinforcing bar. In the previous criteria, the failure ofthe head or the head-to-bar connection within the attachment region wascause for rejection.6.4 Bend Test Requirements:6.4.1 Only welded hea

32、ded bars in sizes No. 10 to 32 3 to10 shall be subject to bend testing. Bend testing of weldedheaded bars in sizes No. 36, 43, and 57 11, 14, and 18 shallbe subject to agreement between the purchaser and manufac-turer.NOTE 3Serious safety issues may be involved in performing bendtests on welded head

33、ed bars in sizes No. 36, 43, and 57 11, 14, and 18.Thus, 6.4 requires such bend testing to be subject to agreement betweenthe purchaser and manufacturer.6.4.2 ProcedureThe test specimen shall be bent around amandrel of suitable diameter to an angle of at least 90 with noobserved partial or total fra

34、cture of the head, the bar, or thehead-to-bar connection.6.4.3 Bend Test MandrelThe mandrel shall be placed soas to directly bend the welded region. The required mandreldimensions for bend testing are prescribed in Table 1. Thecenterline of the bend test mandrel shall be placed at theintersection of

35、 the reinforcing bar and the weld, as shown inFig. 2.6.4.4 Specimen PreparationBend test specimens shall bethe full cross-section of the bar with a head attached to one endof the reinforcing bar. Where the welded head interferes withplacement of the bend test mandrel, sufficient head materialand any

36、 excess material associated with the welding processshall be removed along one edge of the reinforcing bar toprovide a flat surface on the specimen for the bend mandrel.This preparation shall ensure that the contact point of the bendmandrel is directly at the base of the reinforcing bar diameteras s

37、hown in Fig. 2.7. Frequency of Testing7.1 Number of Tests:7.1.1 Pre-ProductionPrior to production, a testing pro-gram shall be undertaken that includes two bend tests and twotensile tests for welded headed bars, and two tensile tests forforged or threaded headed bars. The tests shall be repeated for

38、each combination of head and bar material specification, gradeor type, and welding, threading, or forging process.7.1.2 ProductionIt shall be permissible to use either thetensile test prescribed in 6.3, or the bend test prescribed in 6.4to verify the production method and product quality. A mini-mum

39、 of two tests shall be conducted during the productionshift or period. One test at the start and one test at the end ofeach 8-h shift or less than 8-h production period or at randomintervals during the production period shall be conducted.7.1.2.1 In the event different heats of head or bar material,

40、or both, within the same material specification are used toproduce welded, threaded, or forged headed bars during aproduction run, a minimum of two tensile tests in accordancewith 6.3 or two bend tests in accordance with 6.4 shall beconducted to verify the production method, product quality,and weld

41、ing, forging, or threading quality or weldability of theheats of materials prior to continuing production.7.2 Retests:7.2.1 Pre-ProductionAny identified procedural or perfor-mance deficiencies shall be corrected and pre-productiontesting repeated until the tensile and bend test results meet theperfo

42、rmance requirements of this specification.7.2.2 ProductionFor welded headed bars, when partial ortotal fracture(s) of the bend or tensile test specimens occur(s)in the weld, the production lot shall be rejected and a retestshall be conducted as shown in 7.2.2.1 or 7.2.2.3. Duringproduction tests of

43、welded, forged, or threaded bars, if anytensile test specimen fails to not meet the requirements fortensile properties in 6.3.1, the production lot shall be retestedas shown in 7.2.2.1. For threaded components used to assemblethe threaded headed bars, if thread dimensions are found not tomeet the ma

44、nufacturers specifications for the thread, theproduction lot shall be rejected.7.2.2.1 If the result of a tension test fails to meet therequirements for tensile properties in 6.3.1, then a retest shallbe allowed. Two specimens taken at random from the produc-tion lot shall be tested during a retest.

45、 Both specimens shallpass the tension test requirements of Section 6, or the produc-tion lot shall be rejected.7.2.2.2 If any test specimen fails because of mechanicalreasons, such as failure of the testing equipment or from flawscaused by specimen preparation, shipment, or other damageunrelated to

46、manufacturing or testing, it shall be discarded andanother specimen from the same production lot substituted.7.2.2.3 If a bend test fails for reasons other than mechanicalreasons or flaws in the specimen, as described in 7.2.2.2,aTABLE 1 Bend Test RequirementsBar Designation Mandrel Diameter10, 13 a
