Bending Tests for Reinforcing Bars by aminiskandar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Reinforcing bars are commonly bent during transportation and construction. Bending and straightening the bars subjects them to stresses that can influence their material properties. 2. Laboratory tests at Diponegoro University found that reinforcing bars up to 32mm in diameter maintained sufficient ductility to pass a 180 degree bend test, as required by standards. However, larger bars showed microcracking in the bent region. 3. Both Indonesian and American codes generally recommend cold bending of rein
