Summary:

In this investigation, the bond stresses between the reinforcement and concrete were studied through using non-material interface elements which are able to produce the bond stresses for the reinforced concrete beam gradually loaded from zero till failure. Depending on (Jawad) program which is a non-linc!ar analysis program of plain and reinforced concrete beam through discrete-crack approach by using finite element method. The stiffness matrix derivation of interface element and the way of non-linear treatment was explained. The distribution of bond stresses drawings along the steel reinforcement for different values of loading was achieved before and after cracking.
