Abstract: This paper deals with the simulation of the load-bearing behaviour of laminated shell structures with consideration of the damage type delamination. This includes the formulation of a mechanical model in connection with the development of a finite shell element for structural analysis. The introduced multi-layer shell model is based on a geometrically nonlinear surface-related shell theory involving shear and thickness deformations. Here, the main focus is laid on the development of a so-called layer-bond model for retrofitting simulations, e. g. a concrete structure with a supplementary fitted textile reinforced concrete layer. The debonding of layers (delamination) is described by a stress criterion. The delamination is taken into account in the framework of continuum mechanics by modification of the shell kinematics. For the internal contact, a contact model taking into account the adhesion between the layers is developed to describe the load-bearing behaviour after the formation of the delamination. The application to the simulation of a slat pull-off test shows the functionality of the developed finite element.
