Abstract:
Publication of a new Australian/New Zealand Standard for steel reinforcing materials AS/NZS 4671 and an accompanying revision of AS 3600 has increased interest in the influence of reinforcement ductility on the behaviour of reinforced-concrete structures. A working group of Standards Australia Committee BD-002 has researched and reported on the effects of reinforcement ductility. The research findings, and the various changes that have resulted to AS 3600, are summarised in the paper.
