Abstract:The study of interfacial behaviour between ribbed steel rebars and concrete is a subject that has been widely studied. However, the definition of the bond stress distribution throughout the embedded length of the steel rebar is still controversial due to the difficulty of experimentally obtaining such distribution for a fixed load magnitude. It is also undeniable its relevancy for the better understanding and model reinforced concrete (RC) structures. So, the definition of the local behaviour between the ribbe… 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.
