A New Approach for Bearing Capacity of SRC Columns with Bond Failure

Abstract

Bond stress between concrete and shape steel makes both materials cooperate as a whole, but diminished at final stage of loading period. A shear model is established to throw illumination on mechanism of bond failure. Tensile stress in concrete leaded to bond cracks and eventually the bond failure, which is due to the shear passing from concrete to shape steel. A new approach for bearing capacity of SRC columns with bond failure is put forward which based on the equivalent law of shear stress and shear stress distribution of rectangular section for formula derivation, the calculated results are consistent with those of the test.
