Rationale

This Ballot only applies to the changes necessary to include bend bar specification by introducing a new chapter within ASTM D8505, similar to Chapter 9 within ASTM D7957. Additionally, a non-mandatory appendix is added with standard FRP bend shapes for reference purposes. The text that is changed has been strikethrough, and it is proposed to be replaced with the new text, which is underlined. Note: that all the numerical chapter and sub-sections after the inclusion of the new chapter (9) will be updated as needed if ballot assuming ballot is approved.
