Size effect on the concrete cone pull-out load

  • Chapter
Fracture Scaling

Abstract

In the present paper the failure mechanism and size effect of the concrete cone resistance is reviewed and studied. The influence of material and geometrical parameters on the failure mode and size effect is investigated. In the numerical studies the smeared crack finite element analysis, based on the microplane material model for concrete, was used. Both, experimental and numerical results show that there is a strong size effect on the nominal concrete cone pull-out strength. It is demonstrated that besides the embedment depth the scaling of the head of the stud as well as the scaling of the concrete member influence the nominal strength.
