Scope:

Preparation of the third edition of CSA G30.18, Carbon steel bars for concrete reinforcement. Key scope items include:

• Billet-steel bars for concrete reinforcement

 

The scope does not include:

• Non-ferrous concrete reinforcement;

• Stainless steel concrete reinforcement; • Epoxy or PVC coated concrete reinforcement; • Galvanized reinforcing bar; • Steel for prestressed concrete tendons; • Steel for prestressed concrete railway ties; • Cold-drawn steel wire for concrete reinforcement; • Welded steel wire fabric for concrete reinforcement; • Deformed steel wire for concrete reinforcement; and • Welded deformed steel wire fabric for concrete reinforcement.

Project need:

Although the standard was re-affirmed in 2014, it has not been updated since 2009. The main objective of this next edition is to perform a thorough review of the current standard, to include the addition of new higher strength grades of rebar (i.e. strength levels above 400/500 MPa), and to extend the methods of rebar production.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
