Abstract This study evaluated the bond performance of small L-shaped steel members with deformed bars welded as shear reinforcement in RC (reinforced concrete) and SFRC (steel fiber-reinforced concrete). Experimental results showed that most specimens exhibited splitting failure, with cracks forming along the flange edges of the L-shaped steel members. Furthermore, as the concrete cover thickness and bond area increased, the maximum load also increased. When the cover thickness was increased by approximately 1.7∼2.3 times, the bond stress improved by 55.4∼116.7%. However, when the bond area doubled, the bond stress decreased by approximately 17.0∼19.3%. Steel fiber reinforcement had a greater impact on preventing rapid stiffness degradation after the maximum load than on the bond stress itself. The lower 5% bond stress of all test specimens was evaluated as 1.75 MPa, which is 2.65 times higher than the bond stress specified in KDS 14 31 80. Based on the push-out tests, a nominal bond strength (Rn_k) design formula was proposed for small L-shaped steel members with deformed bar shear reinforcement details, considering the lower 5% bond stress.
