Comparing the overall mechanical properties of the specimens being annealed at the two investigated temperatures with those without annealing, a general trend was found that
yield strength increased with annealing temperature, as did the elastic modulus while maintaining yield strain.
Here, the step mold
yield strength (YS) aging curve are compared.
All the mechanical properties, tensile strength,
yield strength, and elongation after breakage, increase firstly and then decrease with the content of aluminum increasing.
where [P.sub.n0] is the nominal axial compressive strength of the section (N), [P.sub.p] is the superimposed strength of the section (N), [F.sub.y] is the
yield strength of steel (MPa), [A.sub.s] is the area of steel cross section (mm2), [f.sub.ck] is the compressive strength of concrete (MPa), [A.sub.c] is the area of concrete cross section (mm2), [A.sub.sr] is the area of continuous rebar (mm2), and [F.sub.yr] is the
yield strength of the rebar (MPa).
Regression equations are developed for the tensile strength,
yield strength and elongation using the statistical software.

In 1978, Server proposed the following relationship for estimating the dynamic
yield strength of a metallic material based on the force at general yield [F.sub.GY] [4]:
On the other hand, while the
yield strength increases, the tensile strength decreases.
If Y [approximately equals] 1, according to formula (2) and (6), the relations among the material
yield strength, applied stress, and the allowed corrosion crack can be obtained, as shown in Figure 5.
Two sizes of bolted splices: regular size and longer size, and two steel materials: regular steel and low
yield strength steel were investigated.
Except in Euro code 2 (ECS 2004) that a set of more stringent requirements are specified for HSC beams, these empirical rules are not dependent on concrete and steel
yield strength. However, as reported in a series of theoretical studies conducted on flexural deformability carried out previously by the authors (Ho et al.
