Based on the experimental data, a stress variation model of the bond stress-slip relationship between steel bar and concrete is proposed. The characteristic of the model is that the boundary conditions are satisfied very well; the effects of the properties of materials, the concrete cover, the crack spacing and distance away from the cracked cross section are considered. Good correspondence between measured and calculated bond stress-slip relationships is found. This model is useful to study the stiffness, deformation and crack width of R. C. members, and to nonlinear analysis of R. C. structures by the finite element method.
