Modeling of Concrete for Nonlinear Analysis using Finite Element Code ABAQUS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concrete is the main constituent material in many structures. The behavior of concrete is nonlinear and complex. Increasing use of computer based methods for designing and simulation have also increased the urge for the exact solution of the problems. This leads to difficulties in simulation and modeling of concrete structures. A good approach is to use the general purpose finite element software ABAQUS. In this paper a 3D model of a concrete cube is prepared using smeared crack model and concrete damage plasticity approach. The validation of the model to the desired behavior under monotonic loading is then discussed.

Evaluation of Ultimate Torsional Strength of Reinforcement Concrete Beams Using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network
Due to lack of theory of elasticity, estimation of ultimate torsional strength of reinforcement concrete beams is a difficult task. Therefore, the finite element methods could be applied for determination of strength of concrete beams. Furthermore, for complicated, highly nonlinear and ambiguous status, artificial neural networks are appropriate tools for prediction of behavior of such states. ...

متن کاملA Macro-model for Nonlinear Analysis of 3D Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls
Architectural limitations in many situations make it necessary for the RC shear walls to be extended in plan in different directions at a single location that makes them a 3D configuration. Analysis of such walls is very challenging. In this research about 450 cases of 3D shear walls are considered with different shapes and heights. L, T and H-shape walls are studied. They are nonlinearly analy...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of Dowel in PCC Pavement of Roads using ABAQUS Finite Element Software
In Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement of the roads, dowels bar transfers vehicle loading to the unloaded slab. Load Transfer Efficiency (LTE) is used to evaluate dowel bars in PCC pavement. This parameter is defined as the vertical displacement ratio of the loaded slab versus the unloaded slab. In this study, the impact of effective factors (friction coefficient between dowel and concrete ...
