Abstract:Concrete is the most important building material due to the availability of its constituent materials and its easy manufacturing; it is commonly reinforced with a steel bar to resist the tensile stresses. The present research discusses the effect of cement content on the bonding strength with the steel bar reinforcement as well as the concrete strength while fixing the fine/coarse aggregate proportion, the slump and the water/cement ratio. Two series have been produced by using different types of steel bars (s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
