This report presents an analytical model for predicting the behavior of single deformed reinforcing bars embedded in confirmed concrete and subjected to generalized excitations in the range of low cycle fatigue. The model is based on a general local bond stress-slip relationship, derived from the results of an extensive study performed at Berkeley, and on either a bilinear or a simple but sufficiently accurate nonlinear stress-strain relationship for the reinforcing steel bar. An efficient numerical scheme for the integration of the governing differential equation of bond along the embedment length of the bar is presented.

This report covers integrated experimental and analytical investigations that permit predicting analytically the local bond stress-slip relationship of deformed reinforcing bars subjected to generalized excitations, such as may occur during the response of reinforced concrete (RIC) structures to severe earthquake ground motions.
