Do you know an article which has been provided simple relations in order to calculate the mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity) of steel reinforcements (bar) at elevated temperature?
Many materials experience a decrease in the Young's modulus with temperature since it becomes easier to stretch the atomic bonds. For example, the temperature dependence of the elastic stiffness constants of metals is a well-known phenomenon. Particularly, according to the literature (see references below: Sutton, Kamm, Brammer, Varshni, etc.) the static elastic (or Young’s) moduli of pure Al and AA 2024 decrease linearly with temperature in the range from room temperature (RT) to 300ºC. Deviations from this linear behavior are reported close to the absolute zero and above 300ºC. Also, Wolfenden observed a highly linear decrease of the dynamic elastic modulus with temperature from RT to 475ºC, measured at high frequency (80 kHz), for pure Al and for AA 6061 reinforced with alumina (Al2O3). I myself have observed a linear decrease of the storage modulus with temperature for Al alloy 7075-T6 and 2024-T3; please, check these questions in ResearchGate:
and these references (probably, looking at references that cite these references, you can find investigations on variations of elastic modulus of steel with temperature):
