This paper describes the research on bond behavior of plain reinforcing bars in geopolymer and normal concrete. The geopolymer concrete in this research was made of class F fly ash taken from Tanjung Jati Electric Steam Power Plant (PLTU) with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) as alkaline activator, added in the mixture. The effect of bar size was studied by varying the bar diameter in range 10 mm to 19 mm. Each bar was casted in the center of concrete blocks made of geopolymer as well as normal concrete. Pull-out tests were carried out to the specimens that have reached 28 days of age. The test results show that the bond behavior of geopolymer concrete differs substantially from normal concrete, where geopolymer concrete has a higher bond strength when compared to normal concrete with identical concrete strengths.

Geopolymer is an inorganic alumino-silicate product that shows good bonding properties. Geopolymer binders are used together with aggregates to produce geopolymer concrete which is an ideal building material for infrastructures. A by-product material such as fly ash is mixed together with an alkali to produce geopolymer. Current research on geopolymer concrete has shown potential of the material for construction of reinforced concrete structures. Structural performance of reinforced concrete depends on the bond between concrete and the reinforcing steel. Design provisions of reinforced concrete as a composite material are based on the bond strength between concrete and steel. Since geopolymer binder is chemically different from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) binder, it is necessary to understand the bond strength between geopolymer concrete and steel reinforcement for its application to reinforced concrete structures. Pull out test is commonly used to evaluate the bond strength between concrete and reinforcing steel. This paper describes the results of the pull out tests carried out to investigate the bond strength between fly ash based geopolymer concrete and steel reinforcing bars. Beam end specimens in accordance with the ASTM Standard A944 were used for the tests. In the experimental program, 24 geopolymer concrete and 24 OPC concrete specimens were tested for pull out. The concrete compressive strength varied from 25 to 55 MPa. The other test parameters were concrete cover and bar diameter. The reinforcing steel was 500 MPa steel deformed bars of 20 mm and 24 mm diameter. The concrete cover to bar diameter ratio varied from 1.71 to 3.62. It was found from the test results that the failure occurred by splitting of concrete in the region bonded with the steel bar, in both geopolymer and OPC concrete specimens. Comparison of the test results shows that geopolymer concrete has higher bond strength than OPC concrete. This suggests that the existing design equations for bond strength of OPC concrete with steel reinforcing bars can be conservatively used for calculation of bond strength of geopolymer concrete.

The Relationship

This study presents experimentally the bond behavior of light-weight concrete specimens with grouted reinforcing bars in comparison with conventional concrete specimens. A total of (9) pull-out specimens were studied; (3) specimens of conventional concrete, (3) specimens of light-weight concrete, and other (3) specimens of grouted light-weight concrete. Two variables are adopted in this investigation: specimen width and type of concrete (conventional concrete, light-weight concrete and grouted light-weight concrete). The study contains a discussion of the general behavior of the specimens in addition to the study of the ultimate bond capacity, maximum bond stresses and the relationship between the stress and the slip for different pull-out specimens. Results show that bond strength is highest for the largest specimen size (bond strength of grouted light-weight concrete specimen with specimen width 400 mm is higher than that of the specimen with (200 mm) width by about (13.13%)). Also, bond strength is highest for the grouted light-weight concrete specimen (bond strength of grouted light-weight concrete specimen is higher than conventional concrete specimen by (11.11%)).

Emission Monitoring

The bond behavior of reinforcement and low-activated concrete (LAC) was investigated in this study. The acoustic emission monitoring was also engaged while the specimen being loaded to figure out the inside fracture. Static loading and dynamic loading were applied for both of the LAC and normal concrete in the pull-out tests. The upper load was applied starting from 30% of the static ultimate load Pu with a 10% increment until the failure. The loading frequencies for the test were 0.5 Hz、1.0 Hz and 2.0 Hz. The bond stiffness after each stage of dynamical loads was examined. Test results reveal that the LAC performs higher compressive strength than normal concrete for a given W/C ratio. But, the bond strength of LAC seems not promotes correspondingly. It may be attributed to the conversion effect of high alumina contained in LAC, which leads to more voids inside the concrete.

There have been a few attempts to develop prediction models of splitting tensile strength and reinforcement-concrete bond strength of FAGC (low-calcium fly ash geopolymer concrete), however, no model can be used as a design equation. Therefore, this paper aimed to provide practical prediction models. Using 115 test results for splitting tensile strength and 147 test results for bond strength from experiments and previous literature, considering the effect of size and shape on strength and structural factors on bond strength, this paper developed and verified updated prediction models and the 90% prediction intervals by regression analysis. The models can be used as design equations and applied for estimating the cracking behaviors and calculating the design anchorage length of reinforced FAGC beams. The strength models of PCC (Portland cement concrete) overestimate the splitting tensile strength and reinforcement-concrete bond strength of FAGC, so PCC’s models are not recommended as the design equations.

Reinforcement corrosion is a major cause of degradation in reinforced concrete structures. The fragile rust layer and cracking and spalling of the cover caused by splitting stress due to rust expansion can alter bond behaviors significantly. Despite extensive experimental tests, no stochastic model has yet incorporated randomness into the bond parameters model. This paper gathered published experimental data on the bond-slip parameters of pull-out specimens and beam-end specimens. Regression analysis was carried out to identify the best fit of bond strength and the corresponding slip value in the context of different corrosion levels from the recollected test results. An F-test confirmed the regression effect to be significant. Residual data were also analyzed and found to be well described by a normal distribution. Crack width data of the tested specimens were also collected. A regression analysis of the bond strength and maximum crack width was carried out given the comparative simplicity of measuring crack width versus rebar area loss. Results indicate that maximum crack width can also be used to predict bond strength degradation with similar variation magnitude.

In the theoretical or numerical analysis of composite/hybrid structures, headed stud connectors at the steel–concrete interface are usually modelled as linear spring elements; thus, their tensile stiffness will be an essential parameter to affect the tensile force distribution. This article investigates the tensile stiffness of headed stud connectors through theoretical analysis combined with the existing pull-out test results. The pull-out displacement of headed stud connectors from concrete blocks mainly includes two parts: one part is the elastic elongation of the stud rod and another is the axial displacement of the stud head in concrete blocks resulted from the concrete elastic deformation. Mindlin’s solution is employed to predict the second part displacement with the introduction of an unknown coefficient, which is estimated based on the existing headed anchor pull-out test results. Subsequently, an equation for predicting the tensile stiffness of headed stud connectors is proposed. The predicting tensile stiffness for headed stud connectors with various stud heights presents a good agreement with the pull-out test results. Meanwhile, neglecting the axial displacement of the stud head in concrete blocks, especially for relatively short height headed studs, will produce an overestimated tensile stiffness.

This paper presents the effect of the reinforcing bar diameter (db) and concrete cover thickness to reinforcing bar diameter ratio (c/db) to the bond strength between reinforcing bar and geopolymer concrete by using the experimental pull-out test. The mass ratio of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) was 2.5 with an 8 M concentration of sodium hydroxide were used in this research. Class F fly ash from Suralaya Power Station, Banten, Indonesia was used as raw material to produce geopolymer concrete. The maximum diameter of coarse aggregate was 10 mm. The result indicated that the maximum pull-out load on reinforcing bar diameter of 16 mm was higher than the diameter of 13 mm. The pull-out failure occurred on the ratio of c/db more than equal of 4.3. The bond strength increased as the ratio of c/db increased, up to 4.3. However, more than 4.3 was the insignificant effect.

Increasing Temperature

To explore the bond behavior between steel rebar and recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures, an experimental study was carried out. The results demonstrated that the bond strength of RCA concrete pullout specimens decreased greatly with increasing temperature. As the exposure temperature elevated, the slope of the ascending portion of the bond-slip curves gradually declined, and the descending portion of the curves tended to flatten. A modified model was developed to predict the bond strength between RCA concrete and steel rebar after exposure to elevated temperature, and the predicted results showed a very good fit in the experimental test results. Besides, the proposed bond-slip relations for steel rebar in RCA concrete after elevated temperatures showed satisfactory agreement with test results.
