Figure 5. Applied tensile forces in the rebar are resisted by adhesion (va) along the
bar surface, bearing (fb ) against the deformation face and shear in the concrete
(vc ) between adjacent deformations. For rebar coated with contaminants,
adhesion was reduced, but the bar still broke because of resistance provided by
bearing and concrete shear strength.
