AASHTO M 225M/M 225

Abstract

This specification covers deformed steel wire which has been cold worked by drawing, rolling, or both drawing and rolling to be used as produced, or in fabricated form, for the reinforcement of concrete in sizes having nominal cross-sectional areas not less than 6.45 mm² [0.01 in.²]. <br>Supplement S1 describes high-strength wire, which shall be furnished when specifically ordered. It shall be permissible to furnish high-strength wire in place of regular wire if mutually agreed to by the purchaser and manufacturer. <br>The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard. (The inch-pound units are shown in brackets except in Table 1.)
