Test Analysis of Shear Performance on Young-Old Concrete Interface between Bonded Rebar and Groove

Abstract:

The young-old concrete can work together as a whole is the key issue of structural strengthening. Aiming at the technical selection problem appeared frequently in the bridge strengthening about the young-old concrete interface treatments between bonded rebar and grooving, 12 specimens were designed to compare with the shear performance and failure modes of the young-old concrete interface. The test results show that the failure characteristics of specimens which embedded steel bars are ductile, but the failure characteristics of specimens which slotted are brittle and the new concrete in slot position were cut off. And the young-old concrete interface shear strength of the specimens which embedded steel bars was distinctly stronger than that of the slotted specimens. So, the treatment of bonded rebar is proposed during the structural strengthening design. At the same time, the depth and distance of the bonded rebar should be well controlled.
