Bond Strength of rebars in uncracked concrete with supplementary reinforcement
Hi
Why does Hilti Profis not use 1.0 for bond splitting factor for post-installed rebars (adhesive anchor) in tension when there is supplemental reinforcement in uncracked concrete ? The equations 17.6.5.5.1a & 17.6.5.5.1b in ACI 318-19 are only for uncracked concrete without supplementary reinforcement. This often causes the bond strength in cracked concrete to be higher than uncracked concrete.
