Abstract:
Based on the differential equation of bond stress versus slip, an entirely new solution of the distributions of both slip and bond stress is found. A dimensionless parameter that is dependent on the physical and geometrical conditions of the segments is defined. For flexural members, the formulas developed for calculating bond stress, slip, material elongations, and crack width are also tenable by finding the equivalent tension members. Statistical results show very good agreement between the calculated crack width and the corresponding test data available in the literature.
