Abstract:
Describes laboratory experiments in which reinforcing steel of various sizes was cold and hot bent under various conditions and subsequently straightened, then inspected for cracking and tested for strength and ductility. The results were used to recommend procedures for field bending and straightening of reinforcing bars.
