Abstract

One of the key objectives of using steel reinforcement in concrete is to enhance its tensile strength. To achieve the desired strength, it is crucial to consider the depth of anchorage. The adhesion strength between the reinforcing steel and concrete is effective when the reinforcement bars are securely embedded in the concrete at a specific depth. This study focused on investigating the impact of anchoring depth on the adhesive strength of steel reinforcement in the high quality concrete. Various tests including shear stress, tensile strength, bonding strength and deformation were conducted on the concrete with several depth of steel anchorage. Steel reinforcement with a diameter of 10 mm and a steel yield stress (fy) of 328 MPa was utilized in cylindrical concretes with anchorage depths ranging from 50 mm to 250 mm. The bonding strength was evaluated using the pull-out test method. The test results showed that the higher the compressive strength of concrete, the lower the percentage of shear strength to compressive strength produced for each type of concrete. In high strength concrete, the maximum bonding strength was 6.245 MPa at 150 mm anchorage depth and 3.795 MPa for the minimum bonding strength at 250 mm anchorage depth. The bond distribution length was observed to exceed the shear strength distribution length, highlighting the occurrence of bonding failure in all specimens at the point where the steel reinforcement was affixed to the concrete.
