NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF CONCRETE STRUCTURESt
نویسنده
چکیده
Solution capabilities for twoand three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete structures are presented. The concrete material is modeled including the triaxial nonlinear stress-strain behavior, tensile cracking, axon-stiff~~g, compression crushing and str~n-sof~ng. The results of various sample analyses are given to demonstrate the constitutive model and the solution strategies. These analyses include the response predictions of a test beam and of small scale models of two reactor vessels.

Earthquake regulation codes, normally suggest linear methods to conduct the analysis, and nonlinear analysis is bare...
متن کاملInvestigation of Nonlinear Behavior of Material on Seismic Performance of Roller Compacted Concrete Dam
In this research, the effect of nonlinear behavior of concrete on seismic performance of roller compacted concrete (RCC) is discussed. Nonlinear behavior of material shows the behavior close to reality due to use of all structural capacity and it is considered the most appropriate method for design. So in this paper, by using the appropriate definition of nonlinear behavior of RCC, the Ansys so...
متن کاملVertical Contraction Joint Models for Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Concrete Arch Dam
Arch dams are generally built in cantilvever monoliths. Vertical contraction joints between monoliths control the stresses due to concrete shrinkage and temperature variations. Past studies in earthquake safety evaluation of the system often show the tensile fracture and local nonlinear deformation of joints. In this paper, some nonlinear joint element constitutive models are presented to exami...
متن کاملInvestigation of seismic damage index due to water level changes in reservoir through nonlinear dynamic analysis under Far-Fault and Near-Fault ground motions
In this study, reservoir water level effects on nonlinear dynamic response of concrete gravity dams are investigated. For this purpose, the nonlinear behavior of the dam concrete is captured using the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) on the non associated flow rule assumption. Water in the reservoir is represented by the Lagrangian (displacement-based) fluid finite elements. The program ABAQUS ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Nonlinear Behavior of Composite Bracing Structures with Concrete Columns and Steel Beams (RCS) Applying Finite Element Method
The composite structural system (RCS) is a new type of moment frame, which is including a combination of concrete columns (RC) and steel beams (S). These structural systems have the advantages of both concrete and steel frames [1]. In previous research on composite structures, there are some studies regarding RCS composite conections, but there is no investigation about seismic resisting system...
