In this study, normal concrete (NC) and four types of self-compacting concrete (SCC), in which cement was partially replaced by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of silica fume (SF), were used to evaluate the effect of SF content on the bond strength of tension lap-spliced bars embedded in NC and SCC specimens. Therefore, 15 full-scale beam specimens (2000 × 300 × 200 mm3) were tested and 20 mm reinforcing bars were used with a 300-mm splice length as tension reinforcement. Each beam was designed with bars spliced in a constant moment region at midspan. It was found that the bond strength of the reinforcement embedded in SCC beams was higher than that of the reinforcement in NC beams, whilst the bond strength increased with increase in the replacement of cement by SF from 5% to 10%. Moreover, the beam specimens produced from SCC containing 5% SF had the highest normalized bond strength of 1.07 followed by SCC beams with 10% SF, 15% SF, NC beams, and 20% SF.

An experimental research of the bonds amongst retrofitted materials on concrete structures under seashore climate has conducted. The strength of a bond between repair materials and concrete substratum has been assessed on the base of slant shear test experiment. In this research 52 samples has prepared and used for experiment .The fresh concrete with fine aggregate mix only (less than 9mm particle size without coarse aggregate) and 14% silica fume by weight of cement (normally 8 to 10% but 14% because of high amount of fine aggregate ) added to the mix which improve the properties of concrete such as bond strength as well as compressive strength and reduces permeability of sea water in corrosion or deterioration of steel bars by protecting reinforcing steel from erosion (pivotal aim of research) and even reduces abrasion resistance .Therefore silica fume was rolled an essential repairer materials on seashore structures. The retrofitted specimens were cured on water pool and kept on the seashore simulation climate upto required curing times . The strength of the improved samples has studied in three aspects as bond strength according surface roughness ,curing periods and concrete additives like silica fumes and fibres .
