15 In Summary With same reinforcement amount (volume fraction), HPFRCCs can completely replace conventional transverse reinforcement and show much better performance, in terms of peak bond strength and cracking control. The ACI requirement for development length (assuming 2% spiral) can be reduced by 5% using HPFRCCs without any transverse reinforcement. Complete elimination of joint transverse reinforcement while maintaining excellent bond response can be achieved by using HPFRCC materials. No bond strength degradation was observed up to a beam plastic hinge rotation of.4 radian (.15 bar strain). This suggests that no repair technique, such as epoxy injection, might be needed for the restoration of bond after a major earthquake.
