Stress limitations
Stress distribution over the length of a rebar.
Stress distribution over the length of a rebar
Crack width
The model's stiffness was increased through the rigid connection of the concrete and reinforcement rebars, resulting in a shift in the location of the maximal crack.
Deflection
The increased stiffness aforementioned had an impact on the deflections, resulting in lower values. This provides valuable insight into how changes in stiffness can affect the behaviour of the system.
Version 23.1
The bond model is implemented for SLS code-checks in version 23.1. This leads to smooth stress distribution over the length of rebars and then the correct calculation of the crack width and non-linear deflection.

Stress distribution over the length of a rebar
Crack width
The bond model ensures slipping between reinforcement rebars and concrete, accurately identifying cracks and their distribution angle.
Deflection
The behavior brings higher deflections and more realistic behavior of the structures.
