Proportional Limit is point on the curve up to which the value of stress and strain remains
proportional. This is the point up to which Hook’s law of proportionality applies. Elastic Limit is
the limiting value of stress up to which the material is perfectly elastic. Within this region,
material will return back to its original state without sustaining permanent deformation when the
force is unloaded. Yield Strength is the stress after which material extension takes place more
quickly with no or little increase in load. At this point, the material will sustain permanent
deformation and will no longer return to its original state even after the force is unloaded.
Ultimate Strength is the maximum strength that material has to bear stress before breaking. It
can also be defined as the ultimate stress corresponding to the peak point on the stress strain
graph. Rupture Point is point where the strength of material breaks.
Plain and deformed are the two classes of steel bars that are commonly used. These are further
classified into three grades – structural, intermediate, and hard. Properties of which are listed in
Table I (Data is based on Philippine National Standards provided by MIRDC).

Note: A fracture occurring outside of the middle half of the gage length, the
elongation vale may not be representative of the material. IF the elongation
measured meets the minimum requirements specified, no further testing is indicated,
otherwise discard the test and repeat.

Note: Reduction in area pertains to the difference between the original cross
sectional area of the specimen and its final cross section after the test, expressed in
percentage.
