Microscale Cohesive-Friction-Based Finite Element Model for the Crack Opening Mechanism of Hooked-End Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

The entire mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) are significantly dependent on the fiber–matrix interactions. In the current study, a finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the pullout response of hooked-end SFRC employing cohesive–frictional interactions. Pla...
