ABSTRACT
Fb=bond stress Fbs=bond stress in stainless steel reinforcing bar Fbm=bond stress in mild steel reinforcing bar Fs=stress in reinforcing bar As=cross-sectional area of reinforcing bar Σo=nominal perimeter of reinforcing bar L=bond length P=tensile force applied to reinforcing bar Ps=tensile force applied to stainless steel reinforcing bar Pm=tensile force applied to mild steel reinforcing bar The results of the pull out tests on Type 3CR12 corrosion resisting steel and mild steel
are given in Table 2 and Figures 4 to 5. In this table a comparison is made of the bond stresses between the two types of steel.
