i have modelled a 3D RC beam and strengthened it with FRP and used cohesive elment for modelling the adhesive .
so for finding theinterfacial strain between concrete and FRP ,which strain must I opt for namely , E, NE, LE, PE
And i want to know what theses stand for(E11, NE11, LE22) . I hav read it in manual but can I get more information on this
hello,
i am modelling a concrete beam with FRP bonded to beam with the adhesive. i hav tried to simulate adhesive using cohesive element Abaqus(from manual) for the past 2 months, but am getting missing property definition for those elements.I am not sure the procedure I hav followed is correct, so please send me the procedure for modelling cohesive element and the contact between the adherent faces.
waiting for the reply
Hi all,
i have to model a concrete member retrofitted with CFRP ,adhesive is used at the interface and strain is to be measured at the interface.
So i am in need of study materials or sugessions for modelling ,type of interfacing to be used ,and the element types .
Thank you in advance for your help.
