Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Ribbed Reinforcement Steel Bars: A Case Study on Ethiopian Construction Industry

The paper presents statistical analysis of mechanical strength and linear density properties of deformed reinforcing Grade 60 steel bars. Two different lots of samples are identified based on test years for the years 2015–2017 as Lot 1 and 2018–2020 as Lot 2. Yield strength (YS), tensile strength (TS), elongation, mass per length and characteristic ratio of TS and YS are analyzed for rebar diameters of 8, 10, 12 and 16 mm considering both lots. Mechanical and linear density properties are compared statistically using range, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variance, skewness and kurtosis of the recorded sets of values. Moreover, the results of YS, TS and elongation are analyzed separately by one-way analysis of variance for both lots. The result shows that the aggregate mean values of YS, TS and elongation for Lot 1 and Lot 2 are 593.1 MPa, 701.1 MPa, 14.78%; and 572.5 MPa, 673.8 MPa, 15.47%, respectively. Even though there is a slight decrement in values of YS and TS and increment in elongation from Lot 1 to Lot 2, both lots exceeded values recommended by ASTM A615 standard. Furthermore, with 95% confidence interval, one-way analysis of variance showed that the aggregate data of rebars are dissimilar in terms of YS, TS and percentage elongation with figures showing decrement from Lot 1 to Lot 2.
