UltraForce Grade 60 (ASTM A706) is low-alloy deformed rebar specifically formulated for seismic resistance and field welding. Its strict control over chemical composition and carbon equivalent ensures high uniform elongation, preventing sudden brittle failure during earthquake cyclic stress.
Key Attributes & Features
- Mandatory Tensile-to-Yield Ratio of at least 1.25 for plastic hinge formation.
- Controlled Carbon Equivalent (CE ≤ 0.55%) for direct structural field welding.
- Superior bendability and ductility (12% minimum elongation).
- Strict yield strength upper bound limit (78,000 PSI max) to protect shear walls.
Recommended Applications
- Seismic Zone 3 & 4 high-rise structural frames.
- Bridge piers, abutments, flyover columns, and marine piles.
- Tunnels, underground metro stations, and containment structures.
- Welded rebar cages, couplers, and heavy prefabricated mesh.
