BOND STRESS FAILURE IN ALKALI SILICA REACTIVE REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS

A number of 1/3 scale beams made with alkali silica reactive mixes were tested to induce bond failure in lapped reinforcing bars. Substantial reductions in the ultimate load carrying capacity of the beams occurred. From these results the authors have concluded that very significant reductions in the ultimate average bond stress can occur with plain mild steel bars when such bars are used in certain alkali silica reactive mixes that induce high levels of expansion.
