EFFECT OF SUPERPLASTICIZERS ON THE BOND BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCING STEEL IN CONCRETE MEMBERS. FINAL REPORT

Since the introduction of superplasticizers to North America, many researchers have investigated their effect on the material properties of fresh and hardened concrete. However, no studies have been reported on the structural aspects of superplasticized concrete. The main objective of this research program is to determine which of the many material properties of concrete affected by the addition of superplasticizers may be relevant to concrete-reinforcing steel bond performance.
