Question
Would you please tell me the test procedure of finding bond strength between concrete and reinforced steel in laboratory?

Answer
Hello Ahetesham,

I have found some sites which will be able to give you some further information to your question. Please find them below;

Also you could have a look at ASTM A944 - 05 Standard Test Method for Comparing Bond Strength of Steel Reinforcing Bars to Concrete Using Beam-End Specimens which deals with the standard procedures for establishing the relative bond strength of steel reinforcing bars in concrete using beam-end specimens.

I hope this has been of some use and apologies for the late response as I have no internet connection as of late.


Warm Regards,
Jeanette

Willing to answer all civil engineering-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering.
