  • Abstract
    The pullout tests were carried out to investigate the effect of coating thickness on bond behavior (failure modes, bond strength, bond stress slip curves) between hot rolled plain steel bar (HPB) coated with polymer cement based coating and concrete. The results indicated the failure mode of the specimens is pullout. Suitable coating thickness could enhance the bond strength of steel bar embedded with concrete. By using contact surfaces with cohesive behavior in finite element software, the slip between coated plain steel bar and concrete can be realized. The results of numerical simulation are close to that of experiments, indicating that the model using contact surfaces with cohesive behavior can reasonably predict the results of pullout tests of HPB in concrete.
