Uniaxial Bond Stress-Slip Relationship of Reinforcing Bars in Concrete

Abstract EN

This paper documents a study carried out on the estimation of the bond stress-slip relationship for reinforced concrete members under axial tension loading.

An analytical model is proposed that utilizes the conventional bond stress-slip theories as well as the characteristics of deformed bar and concrete cross-sectional area.

An equation for the estimation of the bond stress is formulated as the function of nondimensional factors (e.g., bond stress, slip, etc.).

The validity, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed model are established by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data and the JSCE design codes, as well as the analytical models given by Ikki et al.

and Shima.

The analytical results presented in this paper indicate that the proposed model can effectively estimate the bond stress-slip relationship of reinforced concrete members under axial tension loading.
