1. Scope
#!# General'This specification coers deformed and plain low*alloy steel bars in cut lengths or coils for concrete
reinforcement intended for applications where restrictie mechanical properties and chemical composition are
re+uired for compatibility with controlled tensile property applications or to enhance weldability! The standard si,es
and dimensions of deformed bars and their number designations shall be those in Table #! The text of this
specification references notes and footnotes that proide explanatory material! These notes and footnotes, excluding
those in tables and figures, shall not be considered as re+uirements of this specification!
#!- Grade'.ars are of a single minimum yield strength leel/ namely, 60 000 psi 01-0 M2a3, designated as 4rade
60 01-03!
#!5 2lain rounds, in si,es up to and including - in! 0(0!6 mm3 in diameter in coils or cut lengths, when ordered, shall
be furnished under this specification! 7or ductility properties 8elongation and bending", test proisions of the nearest
smaller nominal diameter deformed bar si,e shall apply!
#!1 Controlled Tensile Properties'This specification limits mechanical properties 8Table -" to proide the desired
yield/tensile properties for controlled tensile property applications!
#!( Welding'This specification limits chemical composition 86!-" and carbon e+uialent 86!1" to enhance the
weldability of the material! 9hen steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the chemical composition
and intended use or serice should be used! The use of the latest edition of A$:;/A9: <#!1 is recommended! This
document describes the proper selection of the filler metals, preheat/interpass temperatures, as well as, performance
and procedure +ualification re+uirements!
#!6 This specification is applicable for orders in either inch*pound units 8:pecification A 706" or in :; units
0:pecification A 706M3!
#!7 The alues stated in either inch*pound units or :; units are to be regarded as standard! 9ithin the text, the :;
units are shown in brac=ets! The alues stated in each system are not exact e+uialents; therefore, each system must
be used inde*pendently of the other! >ombining alues from the two systems may result in nonconformance with
this specification!

sides of the bar shall be similar in si,e, shape, and pattern!
7!- The deformations shall be placed with respect to the axis of the bar so that the included angle is not less than
1(I! 9here the line of deformations forms an included angle with the axis of the bar from 1( to 70I, inclusie, the
deformations shall reerse alternately in direction on each side, or those on one side shall be reersed in direction
from those on the opposite side! 9here the line of deformation is oer 70I, a reersal in direction shall not be
re+uired!

nominal diameter of the bar!
7!1 The oerall length of deformations shall be such that the gap between the ends of the deformations on opposite
sides of the bar shall not exceed #-!( H of the nominal perimeter of the bar! 9here the ends terminate in a
longitudinal rib, the width of the longitudinal rib shall be considered the gap! 9here more than two longitudinal ribs
are inoled, the total width of all longitudinal ribs shall not exceed -( H of the nominal perimeter of the bar!
7urthermore, the summation of gaps shall not exceed -( H of the nominal perimeter of the bar! The nominal
perimeter of the bar shall be 5!#1 times the nominal diameter!
7!( The spacing, height, and gap of deformations shall conform to the re+uirements prescribed in Table #!
%. Measurements of Deformations
6!# The aerage spacing of deformations shall be deter*mined by diiding a measured length of the bar specimen by
the number of indiidual deformations and fractional parts of deformations on any one side of the bar specimens!
Ameasured length of the bar specimen shall be considered the distance from a point on a deformation to a
corresponding point on any other deformation on the same side of the bar! :pacing measurements shall not be made
oer a bar area containing bar mar=ing symbols inoling letters or numbers!
6!- The aerage height of deformations shall be determined from measurements made on not less than two typical
deformations! <eterminations shall be based on three measurements per deformation, one at the center of the oerall
length and the other two at the +uarter points of the oerall length!
6!5 ;nsufficient height, insufficient circumferential coer*age, or excessie spacing of deformations shall not
constitute cause for reBection unless it has been clearly established by determinations on each lot 8see $ote -" tested

7! $o reBection shall be made on the basis of measurements if fewer than ten adBacent deformations on each side of
the bar are measured!
