Bond in finite element modelling of reinforced concrete
Abstract
Numerical model for bond between reinforcing bars and concrete is formulated and implemented in the nonlinear finite element code for simulation of real behavior of concrete structures. It is based on onedimensional geometry of reinforcing bars, but it considers interface surface properties, and the same physical models can be applied as in the case of the full surface interface. Any bond-slip relationship can be implemented within the model. Example analysis of a shear failure of beam is presented and the effect of bond on the beam response is demonstrated.
