These days, high yield strength deformed (HYSD) TOR 415 & TMT 500 steel rebars are widely used in the construction of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. Following major parameters should be checked.....(Please download the following PDF file link for complete comment on the topic)

Remaining other parameters same, the steel which produce higher ductility and higher strength is preferable for use in RC construction. Fe 500 can produce higher strength so we can use it with increase in the size of structural member for additional ductility.
Improve ductility by managing the section and use Fe 500 for higher strength.
