Bond Behaviour of Concrete Block Including Steel Mesh of Various Rib Pattern and Bar Size

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bond behavior plays an important role in developing load carrying capacity and ductility for concrete structures. Studies on bond behavior of single bars have been extensively conducted and whereas those on steel meshes are rather limited. This paper reports an experimental study on the bond behavior of concrete blocks with steel meshes. By varying the rib pattern and bar size of the steel mesh, their influence was examined.
