Sažetak
A limited study was conducted to examine the behavior and anchorage characteristics of a typical size of hooked reiforcing bar in a reinforced concrete masonry wall. The specimen configuration was intended to represent a portion of wall adjecant to an opening. The hooked bar was typical of either shear reinforcement or tension steel in a bond beam. The horizontal bar was hooked around the vertical steel (jamb reinforcement). Tension was applied to vertical and horizontal steel, while relative displacements were observed as a function of load. One specimen was instrumented with strain gages on the steel so that stress distribution in the steel and bond stress between the steel and the grout could be determined. Both types of hooks provided sufficient anchorage to develop the steel to its capacity.
