Problem of Delamination in RC Beams Strengthened by FRP with Rheological Model of Adhesive Leyer

This paper deals with one of the most dangerous failure modes in layered structures, namely delamination. The strengthening layer is modelled by a solid-shell finite element. The mechanical modelling of delamination onset and propagation is based upon a cohesive zone model implemented into a cohesive element located between adhesive layer and a concrete structure. The long time behavior of epoxy adhesive layer is modelled with the five-parameter rheological model. The numerical simulations are accomplished within the commercial software package Abaqus by the implementation of a user-written finite element and user-written material.
