4th International Symposium on Bond in Concrete 2012: Bond Anchorage, detailing
INTRODUCTION
Bond and anchorage are the terms used to de-note the interaction and transfer of force be-tween reinforcement and concrete. Bond influ-ences behaviour of concrete structures in many ways, no matter whether the reinforcing material is steel, an FRP composite, fibres forming a con-stituent of the concrete mix, or whether it is em-bedded or external to the concrete section.
These parameters are highly complex, how-ever, and are technically difficult to measure di-rectly. Results of tests designed to measure the fundamentals of bond behaviour are not always easy to interpret and apply in practice. There are therefore still considerable areas where much better understanding of bond and its mechanisms are required.
The principal aim of the 4th Bond in Concrete conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners and review the advances in under-standing and application of all aspects of bond in concrete achieved over the last decade, and to help identify the challenges and priorities to be addressed in the next. This follows the pattern of previous conferences held in Budapest (2002), Riga (1992) and in Paisley (1982).
In Brescia in 2012 the timing is of particular significance as the Conference will closely follow publication of fib’s Model Code 2010, which contains a number of significant innovations and improvements in design guidance related to bond. A major theme in the 2012 Conference will be the intimate links and interaction between detailing practice and bond.
