Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are taken as an alternative solution
for the deterioration of civil infrastructures. GFRP bars have received increasing attention …

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 …

The lateral confinement provided by concrete cover and stirrups has a significant influence
on the bond behavior of reinforcing bars. This paper presents a systematical study on the …

Despite extensive investigations of bond stress versus slip modeling for RC structures, most
existing bond stress–slip models are incomplete, discontinuous, and insufficiently accurate …

The composite action of the reinforcing bars in the UHPC involves complex and nonlinear
mechanisms. Inadequate knowledge of their interaction may lead to insufficient bond …

The purposes of this study are (i) to evaluate the mechanical properties of triple hybrid-
reinforced concrete mixed with carbon nanotubes, nano-silica, and graphene oxide and (ii) …

In this contribution, an experimental campaign based on unconfined and actively confined
pull-out tests is presented to investigate the bond stress–slip behavior. This campaign aims …

The present research addressed the post-fire bond performance between high-strength
concrete incorporating waste polyethylene terephthalate (WPET) and steel reinforcement; a …

The study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, an analytical equation was
developed to calculate the bond strength of splices in normal strength concrete. The mean …

Bond between reinforcing bars and concrete plays an important role in controlling the
structural performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The main objective of this …
