Finite Element Analysis on Steel-Concrete Composite Beams Considering the Bond-Slip Effect on the Interface

Abstract

In order to accurately simulate the bond-slip performance of steel-concrete composite beams, a trilinear stress-strain relation model was adopted to simulate the mechanical properties of steel. A uniaxial stress-strain relation curve was used to study the nonlinear mechanical behaviors of concrete. The resisting shear effects of studs and concrete in the bonding area were equivalent to nonlinear springs. Based on the energy principle, a calculation method of the interfacial bond stiffness of steel-concrete composite beams was proposed and the interfacial bond-slip constitutive relation of steel-concrete composite beams was given. Based on it, the three-dimensional finite element analysis model of steel-concrete composite beams was established by the finite element analysis software ANSYS, and the numerical simulations of existing push-out tests of composite beams were performed. By comparison, it can be seen that the results from finite element analysis in this paper are close to the experimental ones. It indicated that the finite element analysis model can accurately simulate the bond-slip action of the interface, and this model can be applied to the numerical calculation and analysis of steel-concrete composite beams.
