Abstract
Describes bond tests in a beam situation to determine bond strength with the concrete cast flush with the top of the main bars. The tests comprised two series, each series with a particular character of beam, and subjected to different tests. The beams in the first group were analysed assuming uniform bond along the length of the splice, and those in the other series were analysed by truss models leading to the limiting bond strength in the anchorage zone.
