Theoretical solution for bond-slip behavior of composite structures consisting of H-shape beam and concrete based on experiment, numerical simulation, and theoretical derivation.

This paper presents a theoretical solution for bond-slip behavior of SRC interface based on experiment, numerical simulation, and theoretical derivation. Push-out tests of five specimens were firstly carried out, based on which, the simplified bond-slip model was proposed. The specimen was fabricated using the Q345H-shape steel (400 mm × 200 mm×13 mm × 8 mm) and C50 concrete (350 mm × 600 mm) with a bonding length of 500 mm. A FE model was established based on the bond-slip model to analyze the nonlinear bonding stress that are difficult to obtain from the experiment. The research shows that although the bonding stress in the elastic stage is not uniformly distributed, it is basically uniformly distributed when the ultimate bearing capacity is reached. It proves that assuming the average interfacial bonding stress under ultimate load to replace the maximum bonding stress is reasonable, which is crucial for designer to estimate interface bearing capacity and maximum bonding stress. Moreover, five different stages were obtained by the FE model analysis and the theoretical equations of bonding stress nonlinear distribution were obtained based on the boundary condition of each stage. The theoretical solution clearly showed the relationship between interface nonlinear stress distribution and influencing parameters including the bond area, elasticity modulus of material, section area of specimen, bond-slip constitutive model, and the external load. Based on the theoretical model, the influences of different parameters can be directly obtained without conducting further experiments and establishing different FE models. • The simplified bond-slip model was proposed and nonlinear distributiion of interfacial bonding stress was analyzed. • Assuming the average interfacial bonding stress under ultimate load to replace the maximum bonding stress is reasonable. • Corresponding analytical formulas for the interfacial stress in five different stages were established, respectively. • The theoretical solution showed the quantitative relationship between interface nonlinear stress and influencing parameters.
