Bond–slip constitutive relation of mortar anchor under different loading rates

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to focus on establishing the bond-slip constitutive relation of mortar anchor under high loading rates by the dynamic pull-out test. Design/methodology/approach Self-made specimens were made for the dynamic pull-out test to explore the bond performance of mortar anchor, and the bond-slip constitutive relation of mortar anchor under high loading rates was established according to the analysis of test data. Findings During the loading process, the position of the peak bond stress was observed to translate to the free end. The bearing capacity of the mortar anchor was enhanced to some extent due to the increase of the loading rate. Originality/value The bond-slip constitutive relation of mortar anchor under high loading rates was established with the introduction of the position function and dynamic-load expanded coefficient.
