Full-Scale Testing and Analytical Modeling of Rebar Cages Reinforced with Mechanical U-Bolt Connectors

Full-Scale Testing and Analytical Modeling of Rebar Cages Reinforced with Mechanical U-Bolt Connectors

Rebar cages are the skeletons of reinforced concrete structures. These temporary structures consist of longitudinal and transverse reinforcing bars connected by tie-wires. Given the relatively low strength of tie-wire connections, replacing tie-wires with mechanical connectors such as U-bolts can im...
