Abstract
The behavior ana load carrying behavior of reinforced concrete structures is
influenced by the interaction between the concrete and reinforcement. The stress
transfer between reinforcement and concrete in the longitudinal direction of the bars is
called bond.
An essential feature of reinforced concrete is the bond between steel and
concrete. Anchorage of reinforcement depends on it, crack width and crack spacing are
mainly governed by it. So, stiffness, deformation and dynamic behavior are influenced
by it, and in reverse loading damping and energy dissipation are a function of bond. This
is one of the reasons why bond has been, and still is, a topic of fundamental and applied
research.
The quality of bond depends on the characteristics of the reinforcing bars
(particularly their surface, rib-geometry and diameter), the strength of the concrete, load
history and the stress normal to the surface of the bar.
