Effect of bond performance on flexural crack width of SCBSB concrete beam

Stainless steel-clad bimetallic steel bars (SCBSB) are an attractive choice for durable reinforced concrete (RC) structures in aggressive environments, where controlling crack width is critical to preventing chloride ingress and exploiting the cladding’s corrosion resistance. How...

A New Prediction Method of the Constitutive Stress–Strain Relationship for Stainless Steel–Clad Bimetallic Steel Bars

Abstract Stainless steel–clad bimetallic steel bars (SCBSBs) as composite structures exhibit complex stress–strain behavior due to dimensional and material heterogeneity, limiting engineering applications. This paper describes a novel approach to effectively predict the stress–st...
