EXPERIMENTAL BOND FORCE-SLIP RELATIONSHIPS FOR EPOXY-COATED REINFORCING BARS UNDER ELEVATED TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS

Abstract

ABSRACT:- This paper presents an experimental investigation that reveals bond force - slip relationships for epoxy-coated reinforcing bars under elevated temperature conditions. The obtained experimental results indicated that coating reinforcing bars with epoxy tends to degrade the residual bond strength at elevated temperatures.Keyword: bond, epoxy, bond-slip, slip, high temperature.
