Finite Element Analysis of the Pull-Out Specimens of Steel Reinforced Lightweight Concrete

Finite element analysis method of steel reinforced lightweight concrete pull-out specimens is exploded based on the test results. Spring element and local bond slip constitutive relation are introduced in analysis so as to consider the interfacial bond-slip between steel and lightweight concrete. Element tributary area and flange or web position should be taken into account in order to confirm the spring element real constant. Analysis results indicate that specimens bearing capacity and deformation can be well simulated adopting the stated method and constitutive relationship.
