BOND STRENGTH OF REINFORCING BARS IN REINFORCED SHOTCRETE. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

A discussion of a paper with the aforementioned title by V.A. Ghio and P.J.M. Monteiro, published in this journal (Volume 94, Number 2, March-April 1997), is presented. The discusser points out that minor amounts of low density material as well as occasional air pockets and voids do become entrapped in heavily reinforced elements constructed with shotcrete on a production basis. Thus, he concludes that in order to minimize rebar congestion, lap splices generally should be avoided and mechanical splices used. Discussion is followed by closure from the authors.
