Abstract:Bond properties of ceramic concrete reinforced by bamboo bar were investigated based on pull out tests. The influences of strength grade of ceramic concrete, material type, bond length, side length and notch spacing of bamboo bar on the bond strength between the bamboo bars and ceramic concrete were studied. The results show that the bond failure mode of ceramic concrete reinforced by bamboo bar without notch is chiefly pulling out failure, however, the bond failure mode of ceramic concrete reinforced by restructured bamboo(RB) bar with notches is shear failure. The ultimate bond strength of ceramic concrete reinforced by RB bar is higher than that of ceramic concrete reinforced by laminated bamboo(LB) bar, but it is lower than that of ceramic concrete reinforced by plastic bar under the same condition. When the notch spacing is 15mm, the ultimate bond strength of ceramic concrete reinforced by RB bars is the highest. In addition, the computational formula for embedded length for RB bars and ceramic concrete is proposed based on the test data,which can be used in practice.
