Why is thread steel thinner than crude?

Why is thread steel thinner than crude?

Answer:

Because the surface has a thread shape, it can increase the firm bond with the concrete. The longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups shall be used preferentially in the concrete members. Because the rebar is low alloy steel and its price is higher than that of low carbon round steel, the construction unit or design unit usually starts from the practical angle of the general civil building
Reduce the quality of the project, and the use of low carbon steel instead of rebar. For large engineering projects, often appear to "project inspector", to replace the steel rib steel "Choulianghuanzhu", reduce the construction cost. In the design, because the members allowed to provide "stirrup stress support", the main role is to keep the shape and location of longitudinal reinforcement, steel strapping has a smooth surface, accurate positioning, therefore, in addition to longitudinal reinforcement, licensing round steel stirrups. The longitudinal reinforcement must be made of rib steel.
Thread steel is used for the construction of reinforced concrete facilities, his material is generally low alloy steel grades is generally 16Mn (16 Mn low-alloy steel), or 45 carbon just, their yield strength is above 350Mpa, tensile strength 500Mpa, low carbon steel round steel than ordinary much higher (after heat treatment of the steel strength than low carbon steel nearly twice as high or higher)
