Abstract

Fallowing an invitation from RILEM to participate in a Round Robin, anchor pull-out tests were run. In addition to specimen size and boundary conditions, the material properties were varied. Specimens made of structural concrete, mortar and lightweight concrete were tested. It was shown that the cracks in the specimens propagate predominantly in a crack opening mode rather than in a crack sliding mode. The final crack patterns were significantly influenced by the boundary conditions but proved to be independent of the material used.
