Top700, with a yield strength more than of >700 N/mm² this special steel is ideally suited for:

• earthquake-proof applications
• heavily reinforced components
• precast concrete components
• columns
• warehouses

Increasing strength and reducing steel quantities

Top700 solves several challenges other concrete reinforcement steels cannot. Thanks to the higher yield strength of >700N/mm², Top700 overcomes technical boundary conditions, such as space problems with the reinforcement or aesthetical challenges, such as reduction of the concrete cross-section. And it comes head-on with economic advantages, because due to its higher strength, up to 40% less steel is required, saving money on several ends: reduced quantity, reduced machining efforts, less transport. The latter also a welcome factor from an environmental standpoint.

Advantages at a glance:

• Yield strength of >700N/mm²
• Higher strength rebar - 40% stronger than conventional B500B
• Allows reduction of steel needed due to higher strength
• Allows slimmer and more streamlined structures
