 EXPERIMENT NO.3
BOND STRENGTH TEST OF CONCRETE.

INTRODUCTION:
The bond strength is the measure of the effectiveness of the grip between concrete and steel and has no
standard quantitative definition. In pull out tests on plain bars, the maximum load generally represents the
bond strength that can be developed between concrete and steel. With plain bars the maximum load is not
very different from the load at the first visible slip, but in the case of deformed bar, the maximum load may
corresponds to a large slip which may not be obtained in practice before other types of failure occur. It is
preferable therefore when comparing plain and deformed bars to determine not only the maximum load but
also the load at the arbitrary amount of slip and also plot the complete load slip curves for the plain and
deformed bars under comparison. One such basis of comparison is the load at a relative movement (slip)
between steel and concrete of 0.125 mm at the free end of the bar in a pull out test.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the bond strength between ordinary mild steel bars and cement concrete.

 In a reinforced concrete beam with overlapping reinforcement

 By pullout test

APPARATUS:

 Concrete cubes with bar embeded.

 Universal testing machine.
 8 mm bars.

PROCEDURE:

1. Prepare 1:2:4 concrete mix and having water cement ratio equal to 0.7. for this take 4.399 kg
cement, 8.67kg sand, 17.35 kg coarse aggregate and 3.307 kg of water.
2. Cast the concrete beam of 8 mm bars in the middle. Cast three cubes along with the beam for
finding crushing strength of concrete.
3. Cast three cube upto a height of 15mm with a 8 mm dia rod placed at the centre of cube.
4. Note the load at slip/breake and at bond failure.
