Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete
To ensure the integrity of structures with cold joints, it is essential to evaluate the response of cold joints under varying stress profiles and their interaction with the internal strain and stresses within the
Analytical Method and Analysis of Cold-Joint Interface
Knowledge of concrete interface performance is insufficient to this day. Most of the existing analytical methods are only suitable for determining the highest interface shear resistance
What Are Cold Joints in Concrete and Are They Bad?
Cold joints create critical flaws in concrete. Learn how these weaknesses develop, their structural impact, and practical methods for prevention and repair.
Cold Joints in Concrete: Invisible Threat to Structural Integrity
A cold joint in concrete may appear minor at the time of construction; however, long-term cold joints can have serious long-term effects. They undermine the structural integrity of the system,
Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Cold Joint on Strength and
It was found that strength losses due to drying–wetting and freezing–thawing of specimens with cold joints were higher than those of the specimens without cold joints. Strength losses of
