Confinement effects on the steel–concrete bond strength and pull-out failure
Résumé
In this contribution, an experimental campaign based on unconfined and actively confined pull-out tests is presented to investigate the bond stress-slip behavior. This campaign aims at underlining passive (concrete cover) and active (external pressure) confinement effects on the maximal bond stress. Experimental results are associated to a numerical approach in order to predict the evolution of the bond strength. Equations are finally proposed that distinguish splitting failure (function of the concrete tensile properties) and pull-out failure (function of the compressive concrete properties).
