Bond in Flexural Members with Plain Steel Reinforcement
by Lisa R. Feldman and F. Michael Bartlett
Two concrete T-beams reinforced with instrumented built-up
hollow plain bars were tested to investigate the effect of flexural
cracking and bond loss on the flexural and shear behavior. The
beam with a flexural reinforcement ratio of 0.98% exhibited
arch action due to bond failure that i
