Concrete Reinforcement Sectional Committee, CED 54
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Concrete
Reinforcement Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
The performance of a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structure decreases substantially in a corrosive
environment. India has a large coastline where chances of chloride induced corrosion in the reinforcing steel used
in RCC structure made in the marine type environment of this area, are high. A need was therefore felt to provide
options to users, to consider use, in appropriate cases, such material, which in addition to satisfying mechanical
properties required for reinforcing steel for use in RCC structure, also provide better corrosion resistance properties
than carbon steel. Stainless steel reinforcement bars are one such material which offer these properties. This
standard has therefore been formulated to fulfil the need of prescribing quality requirements of stainless steel
deformed bars/wires for use in reinforced concrete constructions as steel reinforcement.
This standard covers three categories of stainless steel alloy, namely, austenitic, austenitic-ferritic (duplex) and
ferritic. Guidance on selection and use of stainless steel reinforcement bars, as also their use with carbon steel
reinforcement on selective use basis, is given at Annex A for information only.
In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to international coordination among the standards
and practices prevailing in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in India.
Considerable assistance has been derived from the following standards:
ASTM A 955/A955M Standard specification for deformed and plain stainless-steel bars for concrete
reinforcement
BS 6744 : 2016 Stainless steel bars — Reinforcement of concrete — Requirements and test methods
JIS G 4322 : 2008 Stainless steel bars for concrete reinforcement
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
