BOND AND TRANSFLEXURAL ANCHORAGE BEHAVIOR OF WELDED WIRE FABRIC

MATHEMATICAL THEORIES ARE DEVELOPED TO PREDICT THE INTERACTIVE BOND-ANCHORAGE BEHAVIOR OF WELDED WIRE FABRIC WHEN SUBJECT TO A PULL-OUT ACTION, SIMULATING THE BEHAVIOR OF WELDED WIRE FABRIC IN CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS. THE THEORIES ARE PREDICATED ON THE CONCEPTS THAT THE BOND BETWEEN THE SMOOTH LONGITUDINAL WIRES AND THE CONCRETE IS A FUNCTION OF MINUTE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE STEEL AND THE CONCRETE AND THAT THE ANCHORAGE OF THE TRANSVERSE WIRES IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE RESTRAINED FLEXURAL ACTION OF THE TRANSVERSE WIRES. A SUMMARY OF VARIOUS GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES THAT OTHER INVESTIGATORS HAVE DEVELOPED TO MEASURE BOND IS ALSO PRESENTED AS A BACKGROUND TO THE AUTHOR'S METHOD, NOT HITHERTO USED ON SMALL BARS, IN WHICH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE STRAIN GAGES ARE EMBEDDED IN SLOTS INSIDE BAR. BASED ON THIS METHOD, A DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIMENTS ON BOND-ANCHORAGE BEHAVIOR OF WELDED WIRE FABRIC IN CONCRETE IS PRESENTED. THE TESTS ARE OF A PULL-OUT NATURE ENCOMPASSING BOND-ANCHORAGE BEHAVIOR AT FIRST LOADING AND AFTER REPEATED CYCLIC-LOADING. A COMPARISON OF THE THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS SHOWS GENERAL AGREEMENT. /AUTHOR/
