Experimental and Analytical Investigation of Bond Behavior of Deformed Steel Bar and Ultra-High Performance Concrete

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been demonstrated to be a realistic alternative to less maintenance and significantly longer service life due to its better mechanical properties and low permeability. The bond performance of the deformed steel bar embedded in UHPC is critically important f...

description Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has been demonstrated to be a realistic alternative to less maintenance and significantly longer service life due to its better mechanical properties and low permeability. The bond performance of the deformed steel bar embedded in UHPC is critically important for the safety of the UHPC structures. This paper conducted an experimental investigation on the bond behavior of deformed steel bars and UHPC. The impacts of loading method, UHPC strength, steel fiber type and content, rebar diameter, and cover thickness were studied. The testing results revealed that the specimens failed in three modes: pull-out, splitting + pull-out, and cone failure. The main factors affecting the bond strength are UHPC compressive strength, cover thickness, and fiber characteristics. The peak slip of rebar-UHPC increases with cover thickness and rebar diameter. Finally, an analytical model of the bond stress-slip relationship between the UHPC and deformed steel bar is obtained, which is in suitable agreement with the test results.
