CODE COMMENTARY
cable ASTM specification for the minimum dimensions teristics of deformed reinforcing bars. Research has shown
(including height of deformations) and weight per unit that a normal amount of rust increases bond. Normal rough
length. handling generally removes rust that is loose enough to
impair the bond between the concrete and reinforcement.
