Slip or debonding of bonding interface is the key cause of the performance degradation or failure of the reinforced concrete (RC) member. In this paper, based on Monte Carlo method, a mesoscopic finite element model composed of mortar, coarse aggregate and steel rebar was established to consider the mesoscopic damage on the bonding interface and its influence on macroscopic performance deterioration of RC specimen. The results show that the simulation results fit well with experimental data. Higher initial interfacial damage results in lower bonding strength and smaller final displacement. Higher mortar modulus could greatly improve the initial bonding property and bonding strength, but slightly increase the final damage. Compared with the RC specimen model with plain steel bar, the model with deformed steel bar shows a longer duration of nonlinear increase for drawing force and lower bonding strength. When confinement is applied, the coalescence of damage zones is prevented due to the effect of thread. Therefore, the application of confinement could increase the bonding strength and the initial bonding property.

According to the specification given, the theoretical calculation formula of the theoretical value is higher than the measured load values. Specifications given by the bureau of compressive bearing capacity formula is suitable for ordinary reinforced concrete member. For prestressed concrete members, especially scattered end anchorage of prestressed concrete member, the standard formula is not applicable.

This paper proposes a theoretical expression for the ultimate relationship between the crack gauge monitoring data and steel stress gauge ones in dam concrete, based on the equation for crack width of reinforced concrete member, when the cracks expanded to the crack-control steel. In addition, a practical method is developed for analyzing and determining the crack stability of dam concrete, which predicts whether a crack elongated to the crack-control steel or not by comparing the observed values to the theoretical ultimate value. The provided method is proven to be proper to evaluate the crack stability of dam, which is simple and practical.
