What is the yield strength of grade 60 reinforcing steel?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Some good conversion tables on there

On a similar note, Sx in Australian literature is not section modulus- Zx is section modulus.
My point, read the fine print and consider a language barrier even if still English, and rittz had a good question.

Australian grade 500 bars are 500 MPa yield, at least that is what we use in design. Before we switched over to 500MPa, we had 410 MPa (about Grade 60).
You are correct, Z and S are reversed. In Australia, Z is elastic section modulus, S is plastic section modulus. You call Z "zee", Aussies call it "zed". Many words spelled with "zee" in US are spelled with "ess" in Australia. I used to consider myself a good speller until I came to Australia, but now am always confused.

That is at least for this year it does, next year we are switching to the eurocodes with a completely different set of european letters with complicated annotations!

I don't believe you; I thought the first two requirements of an engineer were
1) Love of beer
2) Bad at English or any language.
I wonder how you get on with our sporting past times?
When in doubt, just take the next small step.
RE: reinforcing steel yield strength
Got the first requirement covered. As to the second one, I'm bad at any other language.
Actually watching the Cowboys-Bulldogs game at the moment. I have come to like and understand the cricket, according to my wife because it is so slow.
RE: reinforcing steel yield strength
Vietnam still uses turn of the century style reinforcing steels. Each bar size has its own yield strength, and varying ductility levels. I'm not entirely convinced they aren't still smelting by the Bessemer method!
Anyway, point being that we've got it pretty good.
Oh, and I had just started getting into the Cricket when I left NZ. Another couple of years and I might very well have been willing to attend a Test Match!
