Bond behavior of grouted spiral and splice connection under direct axial and flexural pullout load

The conventional grouted connections with corrugated aluminium sleeves have been used widely in precast concrete construction. The main problem of the conventional grouted sleeve connections is the need for long embedded lengths reinforcement rebars to achieve full continuity. There is a tendency fo...

Civil engineering (General) The conventional grouted connections with corrugated aluminium sleeves have been used widely in precast concrete construction. The main problem of the conventional grouted sleeve connections is the need for long embedded lengths reinforcement rebars to achieve full continuity. There is a tendency for the long rebars to touch the sleeve wall and subsequently preventing penetration of grout around the rebar.
