Dear all,
Back in the 80's in the US,a need felt among structural engineers for weldable "Tor" steel to be available to them that not only had a guaranteed minimum strength but also a maximum strength. The reason was that in order for the strong column weak beam theory to be implemented properly the beam steel could not be stronger than the column steel in terms of material strength. Also weldability avoided the usual site problems. The answer from the industry to this was ATMS A706 bars.
Do we have an IS equivalent to this and if not is there any hope in the near future.
Best wishes
Vipul Ahuja

As the ratio of the ultimate strength to yield strength of bars available in Indian market is quite low (1.11 to 1.16 as per Dr. D.C. Rai and it is only 1.2 even for TATA STEEL Super Ductile Rebars). Why are we overestimating plastic hinge moment and consequently shear as per IS 13920, as the ratio 1.4 is 1.25fy/0.87?

Dear Mr. Upadhyay:
You have raised a very relevant point. The ratio of Ultimate to yield strength is only 1.1 to 1.2. And yet the factor for Plastic Mom Capacity /Shear Capacity is (1.25/0.87) 1.4. Why so?
a) Most times, fy in Fe 415 or Fe500 is not 415 or 500 but much higher. Typically Fe 415 steel has fy between 430 to 470. Ditto for Fe500. This needs to be accounted for as that is the plastic moment capacity that can be generated.
b) Additionally, Steel can take upto 1.25fy due to stain hardening
c) Plastic Moment Capacity that can be generated is important only to calculate the shear demand at time of formation of plastic hinge. (Note that plastic hinge moment capacity is not used for flexural design anywhere). To ensure that the shear capacity exceeds the flexural capacity to prevent a brittle shear failure, IS 13920 requires that the shear capacity is 1.4 times the shear generated by the formation of Mu, the moment of resistance for which one uses 0.87 fy for calculation.
Thus 1.4 factor in IS 13920 has really not to do much with the ratio of ultimate to yield strength of steel but has more to do with the overstrength in the Fe415 and 500 steels and also to ensure that the shear capacity exceeds the shear demand sufficiently at plastic hinge formation.

Hello Ms Sheth
I agree with Mr. Indranil; strain hardening has already occurred when a specimen fails at ultimate tensile strength. Plastic moment capacity of a section is calculated by assuming that the ultimate stress in tensile steel is 1.25 time the yield stress. I think when we reach at ultimate strength; all over strength is accounted for. So now draft code of IS 13920 prepared by IIT Kanpur; requires that minimum ratio of actual UTS to actual YS should be 1.25. This code also requires that actual yield strength should not exceed the specified yield strength by 120 MPa; so that shear failure may not occur before flexural hinge formation.
I would like to ask Mr. Indranil, what were the ultimate strengths of those samples which you tested.
