A STUDY ON THE COMPARISON BETWEEN FRESH BAR AND WELDED BAR REINFORCEMENT OF A BUILDING

Abstract

A Study on the Comparison Between Fresh Bar and Welded Bar Reinforcement of a Building xi ABSTRACT The study reveals the tensile strength of the bar changes after a fresh bar welded. The 4 specimens of fresh bar were tested and for comparison 4 specimens are welded consecutively at fixed distances and 8 samples are taken at fixed distance from weld place. For example, in the present time in construction works bars are welded for various purposes such as building slabs, beams, column lapping its use of welding. The study would likely involve conducting laboratory tests to evaluate the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the two types of reinforcement. These tests would include tensile strength as well as tests to evaluate the bond strength between the reinforcement and concrete. The study would also involve analyzing the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams, slab and columns using both fresh and welded reinforcement. This would include evaluating the flexural and shear strength of the reinforced concrete elements, as well as their ductility and toughness. Other factors that may be considered in the study include the cost and ease of installation of fresh and welded reinforcement, as well as their environmental impact and sustainability.
