9.3.3 Bond-slip
This section describes the input syntax of bond-slip models for interfaces between, for instance, concrete and reinforcement. The models set a nonlinear relation between shear traction tt and shear slip value of DSTIF. ut . See also 21.3 for background theory. The relation between normal traction and normal relative displacement is kept linear, as defined by the first

Shear relations for positive and negative values of slip are equal. Specification is done in an absolute sense, i.e., refers to the positive part of the diagram. Unloading and reloading is modeled using a secant approach. Upon a slip reversal, a straight line back to the origin is followed. Beyond the origin, the bond-slip curve (with opposite sign) is inserted. Material option BONDSL can not be combined with the line interface to shell elements. There are three bond-slip models available [Fig.9.12]. The cubic bond-slip model can be used in combination with maturity dependency of the cubic function.

Multilinear (syntax)

BONDSL 3

indicates a multilinear bond-slip curve.

SLPVAL

specifies a diagram with two values for each point: tt0 ...ttn ( n

ut . The first point

(tt0,ut0) must be the origin (0,0) and the diagram may also contain descending parts (softening). If the initial shear modulus, specified with DSTIF, does not correspond to the initial slope of the diagram, the modulus is replaced by the initial slope of the diagram during the initialization phase of the nonlinear analysis.
