Abstract
The results indicate a significant loss of bond strength for single cracked specimens. This reduction becomes as high as 65% for double cracked specimens in the absence of confinement. It is shown that the crack orientation with respect to the rib pattern is of minor influence, but the concrete cover and confinement play a significant role in the obtained bond characteristics.
