The sessions will primarily overview the material properties of the various categories of steel reinforcement highlighted in the ACI 439.4R document which has been significantly overhauled by the Committee and is in the process of being submitted to TAC for comment. The steel reinforcement categories include the various rebar reinforcement types including black, and corrosion resistant products such as epoxy coated, galvanized, stainless and low chromium alloy bars, as well as plain and deformed wire, welded wire, and pre-stressing steels. The Session will touch on other aspects such as availability of the steel products, welding, unique material properties, stress-strain curves, fabrication aspects while providing an overview of the various applicable standards and industry resources.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Gain an in depth knowledge of exceptional and consistent predictability of the mechanical properties of steel reinforcement;
(2) The range of different types of steel reinforcement materials available;
(3) The simplicity, effectiveness, efficiency and successful track record of designing structures with steel reinforcement;
(4) The long term sustainability of steel and the range of durable steel reinforcement options available to designers.
