Abstract
During the last decades, different technologies to anchor steel elements in concrete were proposed. The present work presents the results of a preliminary investigation of a new connection characterized by single steel plates that are directly bonded on concrete surfaces. The anchor response was experimentally investigated under both tension and shear actions. Specific conditions influencing the behavior of the bonded assembly were discussed, with particular reference to the presence of cracks and crack cycling in concrete.
