Foreword
Article 6.4.1 and 7.3.2 of this part are non-compulsory articles; the rest are
compulsory articles.
GB 1499 "Steel for the Reinforcement of Concrete" comprises three parts:
— Part 1: hot rolled plain bars;
— Part 2: hot rolled ribbed steel bars;
— Part 3: welded mesh of reinforcements.
This part is part 1 of GB 1499; it corresponds to and is not equivalent to international

standard ISO 6935-1:1991 "Steel for the Reinforcement of Concrete - Part 1: Plain
Bars"; this part also makes reference to the revision edition of international standard
“ISO/DIS 6935-1 (2005)”.
Since the implementation date of this part, “wire rod for architecture” in GB/T
701-1997 "Hot-rolled Low Carbon Steel Wire Rods" and GB 13013-1991 "Hot Rolled
Plain Steel Bars for the Reinforcement of Concrete" shall be abolished
simultaneously.
The main variations between this part and GB 13013-1991 are as follows:
- add definition of characteristic value in 3.2;
- add 300 strength grades;
- add product specification, combining with GB/T 701-1997;
- add ordering content in Chapter;
- make amendment for "surface quality" and "mensuration for weight deviation";
- revise and unify designations of steel bar, change designation strength grade
code R235 in GB 13013-1991 and Q235 for architecture in GB/T 701-1997 to
HPB 235.
Appendix A and Appendix B of this part are normative.
This part was proposed by China Iron and Steel Association.
This part shall be under the jurisdiction of National Steel Standardization Technical
Committee.
