This paper evaluated the effect of high strength rebar of SD685 on the cracking and deformation behavior. Four specimens with alternative combination of either SD345 or SD685 rebar along with either normal or high strength concrete were experimentally tested and result were compared with the equations in JSCE design standards about crack width, crack space and deformation behavior. To build comparative analytical study, 3D Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM) was used and experimental results were validated. Extensive parametric study considering various reinforcement ratios and concrete covers was also conducted analytically by using RBSM and the applicability of JSCE equations was confirmed.
