The interaction between reinforcement bars and concrete is particularly essential in
predicting the ultimate failure of reinforced concrete (RC) elements. It is particularly …

Over the last few decades, the use of precast concrete components have been significantly
increasing in building and bridge construction due to their quality, durability, and speed of …

Splice strength in reinforced concrete is an important parameter for the safe design of any
structure which should be assessed with ease and accuracy. Analytically the assessment of …

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars have become a viable option for
reinforcement in concrete when corrosion is a concern. The objective of this research was to …

The local bond aspect between steel bars and concrete confined with ordinary transverse
steel is experimentally investigated. The test parameters included diameter of reinforcing …

An experimental test was conducted to analyze the Local Bond Stress (LBS) between Ultra-
High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) and reinforcing steel bars. The test included 144 …

We investigated the use of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the Local Bond
Stress (LBS) between Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) and steel bars, in order to …

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been increasingly used during recent years.
Regarding bond of rebars to concrete, fibers provide passive confinement and improve bond …

Ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) has attracted attention from engineers because of its
great capability on reducing the size of reinforced concrete columns. However, the bond …

To study the flexural behavior of high-strength and high-toughness (HSHT) reinforced
concrete beams with negative Poisson's ratio and special spiral grooves on the surface …
