Nominal Area and Strength Calculations

This document provides specifications for different grades of steel bar including their linear mass density, nominal diameter, cross-sectional area, yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation at maximum force. Grade B500A has a yield strength of 500 MPa and a tensile to yield strength ratio of 1.05, while Grades B500B and B500C have higher tensile to yield strength ratios but lower elongation. Physical and mechanical properties are defined with characteristic probabilities.
