Structures located in seismic zones require significant ductility. It is necessary to examine the bond slip characteristics of high strength concrete under cyclic loading. The cyclic bond of high strength concrete is investigated under different parameters, including load history, confining reinforcement, bar diameter, concrete strength, and the rate of pull out. The bond strength, cracking, and deformation are highly dependent on the bond slip behavior between the rebar and the concrete under cyclic loading. The results of cyclic testing indicate that an increase in cyclic displacement will lead to more severe bond damage. The slope of the bond stress – displacement curve can describe the influence of the rate of loading on the bond strength in a cyclic test. Specimens with steel confinement sustained a greater number of cycles than the specimens without steel confinement. It has been found that the maximum bond strength increases with an increase in concrete strength. Cyclic loading does not affect the bond strength of high strength concrete as long as the cyclic slip is less than the maximum slip for monotonic loading. The behavior of high strength concrete under a cyclic load is slightly different from that of normal strength concrete.Key words: bond, high strength, cyclic loading, bar spacing, loading rate, failure mechanism.

The use of high-strength concrete is becoming popular around the world. The american code, ACI 318–95 is used in many countries to calculate the development length of deformed bars in tension. However, current design provisions of ACI 318–95 are based on empirical relationships developed from tests on normal strength concrete. The results of a series of tests on high-strength concrete, reported in the literature, from six research studies are used to review the existing recommendations in ACI 318–95 for design of splices and anchorage of reinforcement. It is shown that ACI 318–95 equations may be unconservative for some cases beyond 62 MPa (9 ksi).

This paper presents the background experimental and analytical research that was carried out to develop the provisions for the seismic design of high-strength concrete structures in the 2004 Canadian standard CSA A23.3–04. It is noted that the 1994 Canadian standard CSA A23.3–94 limited the concrete compressive strength to 55 MPa for the seismic design of nominally ductile and ductile structures, while the 1995 New Zealand Standard limited the concrete compressive strength to 70 MPa. In contrast, the 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) code ACI 318M has no upper limit on concrete strength, even for the seismic design of ductile structural elements. This tremendous variation in these limits indicated that more experimental evidence was needed. This paper presents experimental results of reversed cyclic loading tests on large-scale structural components as well as simulated seismic loading tests of a frame structure constructed with high-strength concrete. The goal of this collaborative research program at the University of Sherbrooke and McGill University was to determine the seismic design and detailing requirements for high-strength concrete structures to achieve the desired level of ductility and energy dissipation. The experimental programs include full-scale testing of the following: columns subjected to a pure axial load (square and circular columns); columns subjected to flexure and axial loads; beam-column subassemblages (square and circular columns); coupling beams in coupled wall structures; shear walls and a two-storey, three-dimensional frame structure. The results of the responses of the high-strength concrete structural specimens are compared with the responses of companion specimens constructed with normal-strength concrete.
