Question: The bond between reinforcing bars and concrete is tested by means of a “pull-out test” of a bar embedded in concrete (see figure). A tensile force p is applied to the end of the bar, which has diameter d and embedment length L. If P=18 kN, d=12 mm, and 300 mm, what average shear stress is developed between the steel and concrete?
