    Local/flexural bond arises due to shear forces or variation in bending moment along the length of reinforcement, causing axial tension. Development/average bond arises over the length of reinforcement anchorage due to adhesion, concrete shear strength, and bar rib interlocking. Local bond is more important for smooth bars where splitting can occur if pull forces exceed adhesion and friction forces. An under reinforced section fails by yielding of steel first, while an over reinforced section fails by concrete crushing first. Large cover provides corrosion protection but also increases crack widths, potentially allowing moisture and chemical attack. There is a need to balance cover depth with limiting crack widths.

    Differentiate between flexural bond and development bond [6 marks]

    Local/Flexural Bond Average/ anchorage /Development bond


    It arises in flexural member on account of shearIt arises over the length of anchorage provided
    or variation in Bending moment, which causes for a bar or near the end of a reinforcing bar

     Concrete shear strength
     Ribs interlocking with the concrete

    occurs if the pull forces are greater than the cracking
    adhesion forces and friction forces.

    Distinguish between under reinforced and over reinforced sections in RCC beams [ 5 marks]
    What is the advantage and disadvantages of providing large cover to reinforcement in flexural
    members?[5 marks]

    In order to protect the reinforcement from this phenomenon called corrosion and to provide fire
    resistance to bars embedded in concrete, nominal cover is provided for Reinforced Concrete
    Structures. Based on the exposure conditions and fire durability requirement IS code suggest the
    minimum nominal cover in Table 16.

    The minimum values of clear cover are 50mm for Foundation, 40mm for Column, 25mm for Beam,
    25mm for shear wall, 15mm for Slab and Stair.

    Large cover depths (50–75 mm) are required to protect reinforcement against corrosion in
    aggressive environments, but thick cover leads to increased crack widths in reinforced concrete
    flexural members.

    Large crack-widths (greater than 0.3 mm) permit ingress of moisture and chemical attack to the
    concrete, resulting in possible corrosion of reinforcement and deterioration of concrete.

    Therefore, thick covers defeat the very purpose for which it is provided. There is a need for judicious
    balance of cover depth and crack width requirements.
