SSNA112 ­ axisymmetric Test of wrenching
(Borderie & Pijaudier- Pooch) for the study of
steel-concrete connection: law JOINT_BA




Summary:

In this case test of mechanics one modelized the test of wrenching carried out by Borderie & Pijaudier-
Pooch [bib1] of which the goal was to study the influence of the state of stress in the matrix on the properties
mechanics of the interface. The geometrical data and the characteristics materials result from their
report/ratio, and the numerical results will be compared with the experimental results.

For axisymmetric modeling, one uses elements QUAD4 for the concrete and steel, in combination
with elements gasket for the interface (see Doc. [R3.06.09]). The concrete and steel are considered elastic so
to test only nonthe linearity of the law of behavior of the connection steel ­ concrete, JOINT_BA (see
document [R7.01.21]). One carries out a monotonous calculation with the displacements imposed at the end of the bar
of steel.

Reference solution
It is about a numerical comparison - experimental. The work of Borderie & Pijaudier-Pooch
[bib1] consisted in a trial run of wrenchings carried out on fibers and
reinforcements for reinforced concrete. The object of these tests was to study the influence of the state of stress in
the matrix on the mechanical properties of the interface.
Each specimen was a cube of 80x80x80 mm whose concrete paste was Grade C30/37 (gravel
of 16 mm) with a resistance to the moment of the test (three days after the casting and with a processing
4 hours thermics) of 14.5 MPa, a Young modulus of 15.500 MPa and a Poisson's ratio
from 0,17. For the reinforcements, they used deformed bars 8 mms in diameter, with
a length of steel-concrete contact of 45 mm, plus 10 mm free at the edge of the concrete, which allowed
to eliminate the singularities in the field from the concrete stresses in the embedded surface of the cube.
The test was carried out with controlled displacements (
u&
= 8.3 X 10th-3 m/s) and four levels of
containment: 0, 5, 10 and 15 MPa, constant during each experiment.

It is about an axisymmetric modeling 2D, where one can identify 2 groups of elements:
Axisymmetric modeling (key word

One tests the components xy element which correspond to the tangential components of the law
local of behavior in the interface, starting from the stress field SIEF_ELGA. Values
are tested at the point of Gauss 2 of the element gasket, with 4 pitches of different times: at the beginning of
loading, during the phase of growth of the damage, in the peak of resistance
maximum and after the peak of the resistance of the connection.

Summary of the results
With lower deviations than 5.0% compared to the experimental results obtained by Borderie &
Pijaudier-pooch [bib1], one considers that the axisymmetric simulation of the test of wrenching is
satisfactory. However, in order to test the stability of the law of behavior in combination with
other laws (law MAZARS for the concrete, for example), it will be necessary to decrease the size of the pitches of time
by considering that the other laws are made normally for formulations into small
deformations.
