Experimental study on the mechanical response and material characteristics after exposure to fire of cold-worked B500A steel reinforcing bar
Session

Description
This addresses the behavior of B500A steel reinforcing bars after exposure to high temperatures from fire, followed by subsequent cooling. The existing literature provides limited information on the properties of B500A steel after fire exposure, although these data are essential for engineers studying the structural integrity of reinforced concrete components or systems post-fire. Therefore, this paper presents a detailed discussion and analysis of results from a series of laboratory experiments on B500A steel bars, following exposure to different temperature levels and cooling rates. The mechanical and metallurgical properties of the material are examined, and the behavior is compared with the initial condition of B500A steel.
