Hello,

What is the right rebar "material properties" for Eurocode(ETABS 2015)?

At the moment, when I choose material properties for "rebar", the only option is "user".

If ever what is the right value for user define properties for rebar,if I wanted fy =500 MPa?

Any ideas/help is greatly appreciated.

You need to check your local standards and select the appropriate properties for the reinforcement steel considered.

For B500B, you'd have:
Weight per Unit Volume: 77 kN/m3
E = 200E6 kPa
A = 1.17E-5 /ºC
Fy = Fye = 500E3 kPa
Fu = Fue = 500E3 x 1.08 = 540E3 kPa
