First Results of a 3D Pull-Out Model of Steel Anchors in Fired-Clay Bricks

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper reports the results of a numerical simulation performed to study the experimental pull-out behavior of twisted steel connectors inserted in fired-clay brick units. The experimental results obtained in a previous campaign are used to calibrate a 3D refined numerical model developed by means of the finite element program Abaqus. The numerical model is tuned to accurately reproduce the experimental results in terms of loads and bar displacements.
