Hi All

May anyone help me with modelling debonding using cohesive elements in abaqus. I am making a 2D model of a reinforced concrete beam strengthened with FRP. I have used cohesive elements for modelling the adhesive interface between the concrete and the FRP. My model is running but I cannot see the debonding. I would really appreciate your help.
