The corrosion was induced by chloride contamination of the concrete and an applied DC current. The principal parameters investigated were confinement of the reinforcement, the cover depth, bar diameter, degree of corrosion and the surface crack width. T he results indicated that potential relationship between the cra ck width and the bond strength. The results also showed an increase in bond strength at the point where initial surface cr acking was observed for bars with confining stirrups. No suc h increase was observed with unconfined specimens.
