Construction Cost Estimating

To operate as reinforced concrete member, the strain of steel should be equivalent as that of concrete; with the existence of any slip, the composite action of concrete and steel will become invalid. Reinforcing bars in concrete beams undergo two types of failure under bond stress like Direct pullout and Splitting. Direct pullout failure: This type of failure happens to those beams where there is adequate confinement in adjacent concrete for reinforcing bars.
