Experimental Research on Longitudinal Steel Bar Bond Properties in Modified Recycled Aggregate Concrete Beam-Column Interior Joint under Cyclic Loading by Jia-Li Fu, Bing-Kang Liu, Jun-Wei Ma

“…The test results indicated that the longitudinal steel bar in RAC joint is able to supply a stable bond stress both in the full crack stage and in the ultimate stage, meaning that the requirements of stress transferring and displacement coordinating between RAC and reinforcements can be satisfied. The larger the diameter of steel bar, the more serious the bond strength degradation. …”
