ASTM A944 covers the test method to be used in determining the relative bond strength of steel reinforcing bar in concrete. The test will determine the bond strength of the steel bar to concrete. In ASTM A944 the test machine must be able to load the test material, have a compression reaction plate, and a bar displacement measurement device. The high quality of TestResources equipment means that even loads will be applied to the test work piece, and accurate mechanical properties will be determined.
