    Reinforcing steel is bent 45o at 100oc for an hour and then bent back by 23o. Purpose of re-bend test is to measure effect of strain ageing on steel. Strain ageing has embrittlement effect which takes place after cold deformation.

    What is the purpose of conducting re-bend test of steel reinforcement?

    In BS4449:1997 it species a re-bend test of steel reinforcement where reinforcing steel is bent 45o at 100oC for an hour and then bent back by 23o.The purpose of re-bend test is to measure the effect of strain ageing on steel. Strain ageing has embrittlement effect which takes place after cold deformation by diffusion of nitrogen in steel. Hence, there is limitation stated in some design codes to restrict the nitrogen content of steel to 0.012%.
