Abstract
As part of the work of RILEM T/C83-CUS, a statistical survey on mechanical properties of recent Japanese steels was performed on the basis of mill sheet data collected from six major mill makers of Japan. As a major result, wide scatter bands of yield point strength were found; this caused higher yield ratios of supplied steels than those based on the specified lower limits of yield strength and tensile strength. A high yield ratio is not preferable for ductility design of steel yield strength and tensile strength. A high yield ratio is not preferable for ductility design of steel structures. Thus, the upper limit of yield strength or yield ratio should be specified for such design use.
