Finite Element Method Analysis Applied to the Study of a Corner Joint in Reinforced Concrete Structures

The principal objective for this work was to extend the field of application FEM space frame beam-column connections under static loading and with lateral displacements. A four-storey building modelled load condition. Horizontal vertical structural elements were designed according Eurocode 2. In order understand behavior external node made by column, two beam upper models using correct boundary condition nonlinear materials have been done Abaqus Software analysis performed on an interior exterior joint each in conditions: unconfined confined varying distributions number stirrups reinforcement column .A sup model submit numerical performed, Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDPM) has chosen fit concrete elastoplastic adopted (stirrups, longitudinal bars). then verified against already existing validated analytical results experiments conducted specimens.
