Effect of embedded steel on the compressive damage behavior of cement mortar
نویسنده
چکیده
Steel embedded in cement mortar in the uniaxial compressive stress direction was found to decrease by 80% the compressive longitudinal strain at a given stress and increase by 300% the tensile transverse strain at a given longitudinal strain. The former effect is due to longitudinal confinement of mortar by steel. The latter is due to debonding at the steel-mortar interface. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The setting and hardening process of concrete is considered to be the most critical time period during the life of a concrete structure. Previous research has been conducted on an ultrasonic wave reflection method that utilizes a steel plate embedded in the concrete to measure the reflection loss of shear waves at the steel-concrete interface. The reflection loss has been shown to have a linear...
