The investigation of the strength effect between concrete and steel surface of concrete type and reinforcing dimensions under curing conditions

ABSTRACTPhD ThesisTHE INVESTIGATION OF THE STRENGTH EFFECTBETWEEN CONCRETE AND STEEL SURFACE OFCONCRETE TYPE AND REINFORCING DIMENSIONSUNDER CURING CONDITIONSHarun TANYILDIZIFirat UniversityGraduate School of Natural and Applied SciencesDepartment of Construction Education2006, Page: 78In this study, it investigated that effect between concrete and steel surface of concrete type andreinforcing dimensions under curing conditions. Because of this, 270 bond and 135 compressionexperimental samples was prepared. The samples under different curing conditions were tested at 3, 7,14 and 28 days for bond and compressive strength.In result of this study, the highest the bond and compressive strength results were obtainedfrom the silica fume for all curing methods. The highest bond and compressive strength values wereobtained from water cured specimens. Bond and compressive strength values increased with increaseof size of aggregate and the same time decreased with increase of size of reinforcement. In the analysisof variance (Anova), the most effective parameters on the bond strength were found as compressivestrength and size of reinforcement.Key words: Bond strength, compressive strength, analysis of variance (Anova)IV
