Mechanical properties of concrete to concrete interfaces under uniaxial and shear forces
Abstract
This research
aims to evaluate the bond strength between normal strength substrate concrete
and different types of high strength overlay concretes. In order to obtain
different characteristics in the overlay concrete, silica fume and steel fibers
were used. The slant shear and bi-surface shear tests were conducted to
quantify the effect of different high strength concrete compositions on the
bond strength. The mechanical properties of overlay/substrate concrete
composites were also analysed on cylindrical samples under uniaxial compression
load. The results indicate that the strength of overlay plays an important role
on the bond mechanism. The bond strength is found to be dependent on the test mechanism.
The test results showed that the bond strength was about 6-12 times higher in
slant shear test compared to the bi-surface shear test. The application of
parallel model approach on the overlay/substrate concrete composites was found
to be quite satisfactory to predict the elastic modulus of the composite.
