To investigate the anchorage performance of an innovative assembled joint with large-diameter steel bar grout lapping in a concrete reserved hole, the effects of anchorage length and high-strength grouting material types on the failure mode, load-displacement curve, ultimate bond strength and strain variation were analyzed through the pull-out tests of 15 specimens. On this basis, the calculation formulae of critical and ultimate anchorage length were established and the applicability was verified, and then the recommended value of minimum anchorage length was provided. The results showed that the failure modes included splitting-steel bar pull-out failure and UHPC-concrete interface failure. With the increase in anchorage length, the bond strength showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. Increasing the grouting material strength can effectively improve the bond performance. When the anchored steel bar is HRB400 with a diameter not less than 20 mm, the recommended minimum anchorage length is 15.0d~18.3d. When the grouting material strength is larger than or equal to 100 MPa, the anchorage length should not be less than 15.0d.
