Abstract:
The effect of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) on bond strength in 26 reinforced concrete beams was studied. The reinforced beams were tested under static and cylic loading. The test results showed that the reduction in bond strength due to ASR is consistent with the lap strength on the tensile reinforcement. ASR also causes a reduction in the fatigue life of the reinforced concrete beams with the tension reinforcement lapped in the bending zone.
