Modelling Pull Out Strength of Ribbed and Plain Steel Rebar from Concrete Block with Account of Surface Based Cohesive Interaction in Explicit Step

Description

The model aims to analyze the shear strengh by developing a localized bond slip behavious across the component of reinforced concrete.

The interface between concrete and steel is the principal cause for both the strength and the deterioration of structures. Abaqus explict cannot cannot directly incoporate the effect of cohesive damage across the the interfaace of the bond. Steel concrete bond is developed using an linear elastic traction behaviour with damage initiation and onset.
