Nonlinear Analysis of Prestressed Steel-Reinforced Concrete Beams Based on Bond–Slip Theory

In this study, a static load test of prestressed steel-reinforced concrete simply supported beams was carried out utilizing three test beams to investigate the bond–slip effect between the section steel and concrete in prestressed steel-reinforced concrete beams. Finite element models of three beams considering two different bond–slip constitutive relations and without considering bond–slip performance were developed in ABAQUS. The influence of shear bolt nails on the bond slip between the section steel and concrete was analyzed, and the load–slip curves of the three test beams were also computed. Generally, the results showed that the finite element calculations considering the bond–slip effect are more consistent with the experimental calculations, and the bond–slip constitutive relationship proposed by Yang Yong is more suitable for the numerical simulation of prestressed steel-reinforced concrete beams. When the effective prestress is increased from 222.15 KN to 279.61 KN, the ultimate bearing capacity increases by 14.8%. When the concrete strength is increased from 37.21 MPa to 47.97 MPa, the ultimate bearing capacity increases by 15.2%. When the stirrup ratio is 0.50%, compared with 0.25%, the ultimate bearing capacity increases by 7.8%. When the steel content is 5.41%, compared with 3.37%, the ultimate bearing capacity increases by 9.1%. The results of this study can provide a reference for future research and engineering applications of bond slip between section steel and concrete in prestressed steel-reinforced concrete beams in the future.
