Finite Element Simulation Results for Fiber Pull-Out from Concrete

A numerical study by Zhao Wen investigates the pull-out behavior of basalt and polypropylene fibers from concrete using finite element models. The dataset, last updated in 2026, contains simulation results evaluating the effects of embedment depth, fiber diameter, and interfacial properties on mechanical response. The modeling framework, based on unified phase-field theory and cohesive zone models, showed good agreement with experimental results.

Use Cases

• Validating finite element models for fiber-matrix adhesion based on the described cohesive zone model approach
• Analyzing the effect of embedment depth on peak pull-out load as mentioned in the description
• Comparing the reinforcing effectiveness of basalt versus polypropylene fibers based on the described interfacial properties
• Investigating the relationship between fiber diameter and mechanical response as highlighted in the study

Strengths

• Model predictions exhibited good agreement with experimental results, confirming reliability
• Simulation framework evaluates multiple parameters: embedment depth, fiber diameter, and interfacial properties
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small at 20.8 KB, indicating limited scope
