Splitting failure mode of bonded anchors
Different fastening systems are available nowadays to transfer any given load combination into a concrete member. Bonded anchors are one of the most commonly-used systems. Their failure under tensi...
On bond failure by splitting of concrete cover surrounding anchored bars
This study develops analytical expressions for the bond stress level surrounding a longitudinal steel bar that causes the cover concrete to fail in a splitting mode, with bar-to-surface cracks form...
Characterization of mixed-mode fracture in confined concrete
While considerable literature has been developed on tension-dominated fracture of concrete, fracture phenomena under confined conditions remain largely unstudied. In recent years, models have been ...
Debonding and fracture between deformed bars and early-age concrete
The purpose of the present study is to obtain the bond characteristics of a deformed bar embed- ded in early-age concrete. The fundamental experiments, employing specimens with various covers of de...
Finite element modeling of anchor subjected to static and cyclic load
This research work deals with the study of the behavior under monotonic and alternate shear loads of a single steel bolt anchored in a concrete slab. The aim is to predict the failure modes and the...
Curing Effects on Fracture of High-Performance Cement Based Composites with Hybrid Steel Fibers
In this work, effects of fiber strength and curing conditions on the mechanical behaviour and fracture properties of high performance cement based composites with hybrid steel fibers were investiga...
