BOND STRENGTH IN REINFORCED CONCRETE AT LOW TEMPERATURES.

Summary

THIS PAPER FOCUSES ON THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF CONCRETE AND BOND BETWEEN REINFORCEMENT AND CONCRETE AT VERY LOW TEMPERATURES DOWN TO 108 K (-165 DEG C). THE AIM OF THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION IS TO DETERMINE THE BOND STRESS-SLIP RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE AID OF A PULL-OUT TEST AS A FUNCTION OF THE TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE CONCRETE. TYPICAL FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERY LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE DISCUSSED, AND WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AND THE AID OF CLASSICAL FORMULAE, THE CRACK WIDTH AND SPACING CAN BE PREDICTED AT LOW TEMPERATURES. RESULTS ARE MOSTLY PRESENTED IN DIAGRAMS. PREDICTIONS ARE MADE FOR THE BOND STRESS-SLIP CURVES. (BMT ABSTR., GB., 44, N 12, 1989/12, 89122831.
