| Abstract | Torr steel rebars, also known as cold twisted deformed (CTD) rebars, are used extensively for the construction of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures. These steels, which are characterized by a high carbon content and are subjected to a cold twisting operation to attain the desired strength level and bond strength, suffer from low ductility and poor bendability properties. Furthermore, these rebars are not suitable for coastal, humid, and industrial conditions where corrosion rates are very high. To combat these problems, recent efforts at the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) have led to the successful development of corrosion-resistant thermomechanically treated (TMT) rebars with a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa. These rebars are characterized by a low carbon content, exhibit excellent strength-ductility-corrosion properties, and are rapidly replacing traditional torr rebars in corrosion-prone areas for a wide range of applications, namely, concrete reinforcement structures, bridges, flyovers on dams, etc. A comprehensive evaluation of the weldability properties of corrosion-resistant Cu-TMT rebars was carried out, and they were compared with those made of torr steel in order to assess their suitability for various structural applications. Implant and restraint cracking (RC) tests were carried out to assess the cold-cracking resistance of the weld joint under different welding conditions. The static fatigue limit (SFL) values were found to be similar, namely, 640 MPa (torr steel) and 625 MPa (Cu-TMT steel) under condition of no preheating and no rebaking using a heat input of 7.5 KJ/cm, indicating adequate cold-cracking resistance for both the steels. Restraint cracking tests yielded critical restraint intensities (Kcr) in excess of 16,800 MPa for both of the steels. Based on the weldability tests, the optimized conditions for welding were formulated and extensive tests were carried out on the welded joints. Both of the steels exhibited adequate strength levels (tensile strength (TS): torr rebars, 524 Mpa; Cu-TMT rebars, 630 MPa) and adequate low-temperature impact toughness properties, ensuring a high integrity of the fabricated products. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
