Overview: Modeling the behavior of concrete reinforced with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) bars requires models for the constitutive behavior of concrete and FRP and a model for their interaction. This study focuses upon modeling the mechanical interaction between FRP bars and concrete. The interaction (commonly called bond) can be dominated by mechanical effects when the bars have a significant surface structure. A phenomenological bond model that was originally developed and applied to steel bars is applied to the bond of FRP bars. The model provides a macroscopic characterization of the bond behavior within the mathematical framework of elastoplasticity theory.
