Abstract:
The paper presents data coming from a wide experimental test campaign executed on different typologies of steel reinforcing bars representative of the actual European production scenario. Tensile and low-cycle fatigue tests have been executed to assess the mechanical performance of reinforcing bars under monotonic and cyclic/seismic conditions. The effects of exposure to aggressive environmental conditions have been reproduced through accelerated salt-spray chamber. Residual mechanical performance of corroded specimens has been analyzed as function of corrosion indicators such as mass loss and necking.

Mechanical Characteristics of Steel
The tension test is fundamental for determining tensile strength. In this test, a steel specimen is stretched using a gripping device until it breaks. The data collected during this test are used...
Bar Graph
Multiple Bar Graph
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...
Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:
Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...
