The brittle failure of cold finished reinforced steel bars.

There are mainly two types of slab failures, one due to the fall due to collapse of supporting
brick walls and disintegration of fabricated floor systems and fracture of the slabs which occurs for
the pulling-apart of the cold finished rebars due to their poor ductility once they are struck by falling
objects.
If the slabs are in rows, it indicates that there is an integrity of the system and anchoring
connection is in proper support. However, if it is fracture, it shows a poor ductility when being cold
rolled.
The major reason for fracture of this structure is also the bad ductility of cold rolled twisted
steel bars.

Collapse-resistant capacity of hot rolled steel bars

Reinforcing bars have improved dramatically, increasing the structure of the reinforced
concrete. Hot rolled steel, although it does not have a high index of effort, we can observe a great
seismic capacity, if we use the same steel without it having a hot lamination we can see a collapse
of the structure.

When a structure collapses due to a lack of support, there is a high structural deformation, however
the "suspension wire" and the "suspension beam" are without collapsing fracture due to its high
ductility provided by the hot bonding process.

The restraint effect of hooping steel bars

The reinforced hoops can improve the seismic capacity of the concrete columns, because
despite the load of the structure they are in the upper zone there is no disintegration or collapse

Generally the reinforcement of hoops is associated with the repair of vertical bars and
structures that have to support cutting forces, therefore, a steel with a low force is used, but with a
circumferential support that gives support and strength to the column

A summary form in Table 1 shows the different concrete failure criteria, in which the ductile, inductive
and fragile mode are highlighted, which can suffer from the following mechanisms:
