ASTM A944 Bond strength of steel reinforcing bars
The ASTM A944 standard test method uses beam-end specimens to compare the bond strength of steel reinforcing bars to concrete. The effects of surface preparation on the bond strength of deformed steel reinforcing bars are determined in this test.
Scope:
Using beam-end specimens, the ASTM A944 test method outlines procedures for determining the relative bond strength of steel reinforcing bars in concrete. The standard looks at the bonding behavior of reinforcing bars and concrete following a fire. This test method has the advantages of being reliable, simple, low-cost, and easily adaptable for usage in both an underground and laboratory setting.
Test Procedure:
For ASTM A944, a tensile load is applied to the test bar. The loading rate shall be such that failure will not occur before 3 min after starting to load the test specimens. The load rate should be between 10% to 33% of the bond strength per minute and then at least 10 intermediate displacement and load readings should be taken. Data recorded for a test includes minimum load, initial load, displacement readings, and maximum load.
Specimen size:
ASTM A944, beam-end test specimen consists of the test bar cast in a block of reinforced concrete which is (600 ± 25 mm) long.
Data:
Bond strength in ASTM A944 testing is reported in inch-pound and is considered as standard. The test result underlines the need to modify the experimental approach, in order to be able to realistically predict the performance of the steel-to-concrete bond.
Conclusion :
The ASTM A944 standard test method uses beam-end specimens to compare the bond strength of steel reinforcing bars to concrete
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
