Abstract
In relatively cold environments, the combination of freeze-thaw and steel bar corrosion is a key factor affecting the durability of concrete. The adjustment of the stirrup ratio would change the mechanical performance of surrounding concrete, while the circumferential compressive stress can further improve the bonding performance. Hence, based on eccentrically tensioned specimens, the influence of corrosion of stirrups and freeze-thaw of concrete on bond properties is discussed in this paper. The monotonic pull-out test of reinforced concrete specimens is carried out to study the variation rules of bond strength and slip between steel bar and concrete under the coupling action of corrosion rate, freeze-thaw times and stirrup spacing. Based on the experimental data, the empirical formula for the ultimate bond strength is obtained, and a bond-slip constitutive model is established considering the stirrup spacing, stirrup corrosion rate and freeze-thaw times. Then, a refined finite element pull-out specimen model is established by ABAQUS simulation, and the numerical simulation results are compared with the real test ones, so as to make up for the deficiencies in the test and lay the foundation for further finite element analysis.
