The bond between reinforcing steel and concrete is critical for the optimal performance of
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The same applies to structures incorporating short …

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 …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced class of concrete materials that
show superior mechanical and durability performance. While several studies have …

The conventional bar lapping approach to connect steel bars requires long development
length and always leads to bar congestion problems. For this reason, grouted splice …

Test results of 10 hybrid precast concrete beam-to-column connections are presented.
These tests constitute Phase IV of an experimental program on one-third-scale model …

The development of an accurate local bond stress–slip (τ–δ) relationship for steel reinforcing
bars has been hindered for two reasons: because steel reinforcing bars are internally …

Ninety pullout specimens were used to study the bond behavior of glass fiber reinforced
polymer (GFRP) ribbed rebars with thirty different specially designed rib geometries to the …

Steel-to-concrete bond is a basic aspect of the behaviour of reinforced concrete structures
both at serviceability and ultimate states. When bond rules were originally developed …

Rebar corrosion is one of the main reasons for the deterioration of RC structures and is of
major concern in the construction industry. The detection of rebar corrosion in RC is …
