ABSTRACT

Bond in concrete is of outmost importance for the definition of resisting mechanisms in reinforced concrete (r.c.) structures. Bond performance is directly related to both serviceability and ultimate behaviour of r.c. members. In presence of corrosion between steel and concrete bond is modified. Previous models as Lundgren et al. (2012) and Ozbolt et al. (2014) give an important contribution to the simulation bond in presence of corrosion.
