EFFECT OF BOND ON CRACK WIDTH AND REFLECTION

RESULTS ARE PRESENTED OF TESTS ON PLAIN, OLD-STYLE AND MODERN DEFORMED REINFORCED CONCRETE BARS SHOWING THE INFLUENCE OF THE BOND CHARACTERISTICS OF REINFORCING BARS ON CRACK WIDTH AND DEFORMATION. THIS INFLUENCE IS NOT APPARENT UNTIL THE INTENSITY OF THE BOND AT ANY POINT ALONG THE BAR EXCEEDS ITS PARTICULAR ADHESION-BOND RESISTANCE. THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE BOND CHARACTERISTICS START TO PLAY A DOMINANT ROLE ARE IN THE RANGE OF NORMAL DESIGN AND ARE THEREFORE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM IN CP 114 AND IN ALL OTHER COUNTRIES. /RRL/
