Abstract

In the design of externally bonded reinforcement, the anchoring design is extremely important, because failure is very often initiated in the end zones. Expressions for the anchoring capacity in both the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state are derived from the classical differential equation of Volkersen. Therefore non-linear concrete properties, describing the pre- and post-cracking behaviour are considered. A relation with the mode II- fracture energy has been set up. The model parameters are simply determined from the concrete compressive strength and the concrete tensile strength.
