Concrete-steel bond influence in the cyclic response of RC structural elements

Poor bond conditions are a frequent cause of damage of collapse of reinforced concrete structures under cyclic loading, such as the induced by earthquakes. Reinforced concrete elements built with smooth plain reinforcing bars are particularly sensitive to bond-slip and to its effects. A simplified n...
