Developing a 3 D finite element model for reinforced concrete

Non Linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced and Unreinforeced Pavements

In this research a comprehensive finite element program was developed in order to carry out an elasto perfectly plastic analysis of geogrid reinforcement of a model pavement. Qualitative agreement is seen between the numerical results and experiment. The results indicate the influence of geogrid in reduction of vertical deformation of pavements. It is also seen that for strong subgrade, the opt...

Hierarchical Multi-resolution Finite Element Model for Soft Body Simulation

The complexity of most surgical models has not allowed interactive simulations on standard computers. We propose a new framework to finely control the resolution of the models. This allows us to dynamically concentrate the computational force where it is most needed. Given the geometrical model of an object to simulate, we first compute a bounding box and then recursively subdivide it where nee...

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced RC Bracket Using CFRP Plates

CFRP composites have unique application qualities such as high resistance and durability to environmental conditions, having relatively low weight and easy to install in strengthening concrete structure elements. The brackets should be strengthen sufficiently if they are not calculated and implemented well. Application of the CFRP is one of the methods for such purposes. The study involves usin...

Evaluating the Soil Bearing Capacity Coefficients by Means of a Finite Element Program Based on Elasto - Plastic Mohr - Coulomb Behavior

A finite element program based on elastic –plastic model of Mohr-Coulomb criterion was used to evaluate the bearing capacity coefficients of soil under shallow strip flexible footing . The results were compared with others’ analytical results and it was found that the present study could offer quite consistent and rather precise values for the bearing capacity coefficients . The effect of d...
