Abstract: Experimental studies were conducted on the local bond stress‐slip relationships of deformed bars embedded in confined concrete under monotonic and cyclic loading in the temperature range between −10 °C and −70 °C (+14 °F ...

Abstract: Experimental observations on the effect of freezing cycles on the bond behavior between steel reinforcement and concrete are reported. Specimens that experienced 1, 10, and 30 freezing cycles are tested under monotonic and ...

Abstract: The modulus of elasticity of concrete is a fundamental parameter in analysis and design of reinforced‐concrete structures. The present ACI approach for Young's modulus is based on normal strength concrete. It may not be ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments on the local bond behavior of high‐strength concrete were carried out under monotonic, repeated cyclic and reversed cyclic loading conditions in the temperature range of

Abstract: High‐strength concrete has been used extensively in high‐rise buildings and long‐span bridges. However, very little is known regarding its mechanical properties at low temperature. This paper presents the results of an ...

Abstract: Laboratory studies were conducted on concrete compressive and splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio and on the local bond strength between concrete and steel under both monotonic and cyclic ...

Abstract: Analytical models of local bond stress‐slip relationships are established based on an experimental program of 65 specimens in the temperature range between
