“…Bonding behaviors primarily dependent on three factors: the compressive strength of concrete, confinement, and the surface of the rebar (deformed or round) (Wu & Zhao, 2013). Previous studies have been undertaken to evaluate the effects of corrosion on the bond strength (Almusallam, Al-Gahtani, Aziz, & Rasheeduzzafar 1996;Bhargava, Ghosh, Mori, & Ramanjam, 2008;Eligehausen, Popov, & Bertero, 1983;Fang, Gylltoft, Lundgren, & Plos, 2006;Fang, Lundgren, Chen, & Zhu, 2004;Kivell, 2012;Mangat & Elgarf, 1999;Yalciner, Eren, & Sensoy, 2012). However, little information is available on the effects of concrete strength on bond performance of reinforcing steel in concrete.…”
