Abstract

RBSN Method, Rigid-Body-Spring Network Method, is a structural analysis method that overcomes the problems faced in FEM analysis of concrete or crack forming structures. In RBSN, irregular lattices are used to model structural components consisting of bulk material, curvilinear reinforcements, and their interfaces. Because reinforcements and their interfaces in the bulk material are freely positioned, meshing is irrespective of the geometry of the representing bulk material. In this paper, RBSN method of 3D is applied in simulating the pull-out test of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) embedded in concrete. The comparison of analysis results to experimental results shows that RBSN method simulates the shear-slip behavior very precisely. From the analysis results, 3D RBSN method is proven to be an effective and accurate analysis method for concrete structural analysis. Also, the results show that RBSN method can be a potential analysis method for concrete structures that can replace the current FEM analysis.
