Steel Strength242 viewsThe steel distributors in general use a system for strength specification which is meaningless structural engineers. The standard strength specification as indicated here is stamped on the rebar and conforms to an SDxx format. This SD30 used here means that it would require a 30 kg. weight to permanently deform a 1 mm strand of this steel. dozer
