The BBR H Bar is a steel threaded bar with superior fatigue performance and the
widest range of bar diameters on the international market place. It is available with
steel grades ranging from 500/550MPa to 930/1080MPa (yield/ultimate) and in
diameters from 20mm to 75mm.

Testing & quality assurance to international standards

At BBR, we take pride in every piece of construction technology
that we supply and this is why we conduct thorough independently
verified laboratory testing. We expect that each product should
conform to the highest standards and that it should reach our
customers in prime condition, ready for immediate use.

Independently verified testing The maximum force and force at yield

As a part of our testing program for
technical approval, we have performed
key tests to verify the major mechanical
properties of the BBR H Bar System.
We have carried out static, fatigue
and material testing on the system,
comprising the accessories. All the
tests were executed in independent
accredited European laboratories.
The testing results proved that the
BBR H Bar System not only complies
with the latest European norms,
standards and guidelines, but also fulfills
additional requirements specified by
local authorities in other regions.
Static test on tensile bar element
Static testing of tensile elements is
carried out according to European
norms and international standards.
A bar specimen is stressed by
standard stressing equipment to the
maximum force (corresponding to
ultimate tensile strength) at a specified
loading rate. Elongation of the bars is
measured during the tests.
must meet the specified values as 5%
fractiles. The ratio of maximum force to
force at yield, as well as the elongation
at maximum force (Agt) must meet
values as 10% fractiles. Agt is expected
to be at least 3.5%.
Static test on bar system
Static testing of the whole system
complies with European technical
approval guidelines. A complete bar
system kit consists of bar, anchor
plate, nut and coupler. The assembled

is monitored. All type of nuts and
couplers are tested.
In each test, 100% of the specified
maximum force is attained, with
deformation stabilizing at 80% of
ultimate tensile stress within 30 minutes.

Fatigue test on bar system
Fatigue testing of the system follows
European technical approval guidelines.
A complete bar system kit – consisting
of bar, anchor plate, nut and coupler -
is stressed by a resonance testing rig
to a specified force range with stress
variation cycles. All types of nuts
and couplers are also tested, and any
slip at the anchorage and coupler is
measured. The acceptance criterion is
to pass two million load cycles, with an
upper force at 65% of characteristic
ultimate tensile stress and a stress
range of not less than 80MPa.
Verification of load transfer in the
anchorage zone
The load transfer in the anchorage
zone, including relevant reinforcement
and concrete with the recommended
dimensions for a particular concrete
strength, should be verified according
to the European and international
codes and technical approval guidelines.
During a load transfer test, the
anchorage components are subjected
to 10 load cycles between 12% and
80% of characteristic ultimate tensile
stress, before the complete assembly
is loaded to failure. An efficiency of at
least 110% of characteristic ultimate
tensile stress must be achieved.
Packing & shipping
Our products are shipped globally
to various projects, therefore proper
packing is a critical step in ensuring
products are delivered undamaged.
This is especially important when
it concerns products which feature
additional corrosion protection – such
as galvanizing or epoxy coating.
The highest standards are applied
to the BBR packing regime, ensuring
goods are wrapped with protective
paper or fabric, properly bound with
steel strapping and placed inside
wooden crates.
Additional testing on request
BBR has a long experience of working
with international standards and
laboratory test regimes, thus our
engineers are able to perform any
project-specific tests that may be
required. For example, static and
fatigue testing conforming with EN ISO
15630-1 and also with ETAG 013 are
available. Please contact us for further
details.
