Effect of Negative Temperatures on the Strength and Deformability of a Reinforced Concrete Element by Andrey D. Istomin, Victoria A. Petrova

“…At the same time, there are no unified recommendations on the deformation and strength properties of reinforcement for calculating reinforced concrete structures under conditions of low and ultra-low negative temperatures. RF standards do not take into account the influence of climatic (up to -70°C) and technological (up to -196°C) negative temperatures on the deformation and strength characteristics of reinforcing steel.The purpose of this work was to experimentally study the effect of negative temperatures (up to -196°C) on the deformation-strength properties of reinforcement, concrete and reinforced concrete rod elements. …”
