Abstract
The overall behaviour of reinforced concrete structures is mainly related to
the bond characteristics between the reinforcing bars and the surrounding
concrete. Therefore, the splices of reinforcing steel bars have to be fully
understood. Owing to the limited lengths of the steel bars,splicing of these
bars is always required for the long span structures. Recently, High
Performance Concrete (HPC) with favorable material characteristics has
been commonly utilized in several reinforced concrete structures with wide
spans. The concrete type/strength is one of the main principal parameters
having a significant influence on the bond behavior. Subsequently, this
research is concerned in the enhancement of lab splices of reinforcing steel
bars embedded in HPC using new developed techniques.
