Description

During the Canterbury earthquake series, several reinforced concrete (RC) walls formed a limited number of cracks at the wall base as opposed to the expected distributed cracking in ductile plastic hinge regions. The ductility of a lightly reinforced concrete wall is dependent on the distribution of cracks, as well as the reinforcement bond and yield penetration at each crack. A series of experimental tests were conducted to investigate how the bond characteristics of reinforcing steel would ...
