Numerical Simulation of Failure of Anchorage with Shifted Mechanical Anchorage Bars by 3D Discrete Model
Nowadays, seismic design code in Japan is becoming more stringent. To satisfy the strict requirement, larger numbers of reinforcements must be placed, resulting in increased reinforcement congestion. To reduce the reinforcement congestion, mechanical anchorage is becoming popular in use instead of conventional hook rebar. However the behavior of mechanical anchorage placed in thin cover zone is not well understood, and the use of this is still limited. In this study, the discrete element method was used to investigate the performance of mechanical anchorage placed in thin cover depth zone, and the pull-out test in previous research was simulated. To assume that anchor plates welded to bar end are difficult to place side by side due to closely-spaced reinforcements, the position of anchor plate was taken as main parameter. The result shows that the anchorage performance changed according to the transverse bars effect and the shift of the mechanical anchorage. The simulations show good agreement with experiment data in terms of the anchorage capacity, crack pattern and failure mode.
