Abstract
Cold worked and hot rolled deformed bars were loaded in rapid tensile tests at temperatures of +20, -20 and -60 deg c. The possibility of brittle fracture at lowered temperatures was examined. Applied charpy V-Notch tests were also carried out. The strengths of all steel grades in the rapid tensile tests were higher than static tensile tests. The strain results fall below the comparison values at lower temperatures. The charpy V-Notch tests do not apparently represent the properties of reinforcing steels accurately.
