ASTM International Subcommittee A01.05 on Steel Reinforcement has made a significant revision to ASTM A706/A706M , Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Deformed and Plain Bars for Concrete Reinforcement. A higher yield strength level, namely Grade 80 [550], has been added to the standard. The term “grade” relates to minimum yield strength in units of “kps/in.2 (megapascals),” i.e., “Grade 80 [550]”…

A new ASTM International standard will serve as a guide for manufacturers and laboratories that make and test steel products according to standards using the SI system of units. The new standard, ASTM A1058 , Test Methods for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products—Metric, arose from a need for a stand-alone metric steel testing standard, according to Lester Burgess, director of quality, TSP/U.S.…

Thermoplastic corrugated stormwater chambers are similar to other types of plastic piping systems in that they are subjected to significant live loads from surface traffic as well as dead loads from earth cover. However, differences in construction — specifically, the fact that chambers are open-bottomed arches — necessitate an understanding of how corrugated stormwater chambers behave…
