This study investigates the tensile behavior of anchor pull-out tests from super early
age concrete(less than 12h) by finite element(FE) software ANSYS Workbench. In
previous experiment, several series of pull-out tests were finished and analyzed. In
each per hour, different speeds(1mm/s, 0.2mm/s, 0.1mm/s and 0.833mm/s) were
evaluated, getting the results about correlation of pull-out force and displacement(F-D
curve). It is difficult to evaluate the specific development of tensile strength in super
young concrete, due to the super plasticity that makes itself soft and unstable. The
first step of this study is to collect relevant empirical formula, theoretical varying
material properties with time and pull-out force of experimental applied anchors.
Comparison of simulation analysis results and empirical formulas determines whether
the establishment of the finite element model and adapted constitutive model of
known natural hardened concrete(NHC) are valid or not. The second procedure is that
the material properties of NHC are replaced by different age values and modified until
getting the same simulation results as experiment outcome. The propose of this paper
is to investigate a more accurate modified formula to describe the development of
tensile behavior in super early age concrete:1. Introduction
