Today, I tried a little different way to connect the external collars to the concrete, deleting those connecting beam elements and defined shell elements for the collars sharing nodes with concrete elements, and preliminary results show that better fitting with the experimental results! Seems promising direction in the modelling though still need further consideration and elaborations! Cheers!!!
