This contribution presents a model which accurately describes the nonlinear viscoelastic deformation behaviour of bonded anchors under sustained load. The model consists of rheological elastic, plastic and viscous components which possess nonlinear material properties. Nonlinearities depending on the applied stress level, the duration of the load period and material degradation processes are included...
