Hello everyone,
I want to provide the bond slip effect at the interface of prestressing steel and surrounding concrete to post tensioned concrete member using COMBINE39 spring elements.
Can anyone please suggest which bond slip equations are generally used for post tensioned concrete members (for bonded & unbonded case), so as to assign the force displacement values for COMBINE 39 spring element in ANSYS APDL.
Please give your answer at earliest, your kind reply will be appreciate and very much helpful to me.
Thank you all,
Regards,
Pandimani
i worked before on unbounded case, i only hinged reinforcement element in start and end point with my desire initial strain.
good luck
Thank you for your fast reply sir.
For unbounded case as you have said that only the end nodes of reinforced steel are hinged.
That is fine sir, but what about the DOF of other coincidence nodes of concrete and prestressing steel (except the end nodes) which lies along the axis of steel element?
Please suggest your opinion, also if you have any journal papers or any link concern to this area using ANSYS APDL, please forward possibly sir.
Thank you very much
