Abstract:
The paper investigates the bond behavior between non-pretensioned indented steel wire and high-performance concrete (HPC) to study the effect of embedment length and concrete compressive strength on bonding performance with time. A total of 63 concrete specimens cross-section 160×160 mm reinforced with indented steel wire of 7.5 mm diameter were casted and tested under uniaxial load. The main test parameters include the embedment length: 40, 80, 120, 200, and 240 mm, and concrete compressive strength: 40, 60, 72, and 88 MPa. The modified pullout test method developed at the Cracow University of Technology was used in experimental investigation. The results show that the average maximum bond stress (16, 23, 26, 32 MPa) is increased with an increase of concrete compressive strength (over time) and is decreased with longer development length of indented steel wire for the same concrete compressive strength. An increase of bond stress is slower than an increase of HPC compressive strength. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the maximum bond stress occurs at the slip of 2.8 mm independently of concrete compressive strength range from 40 to 88 MPa. The average values of the adhesive bond of HPC to non-pretensioned indented steel wire range from 2.90 to 3.75 MPa. Finally, a verification of the MC 2010 concrete bond-slip model for HPC reinforced with non-pretensioned indented steel wires was conducted. It was determined that the model is not applicable to elements made of concrete with a strength of 60 MPa and above.
