prestressed concrete
Dear Abaqus user
I am modeling a post-tensioned concrete pier with 4 part:
-concrete foundation,pier,cap(C3D8R) and tendon(wire,B31)
I input prestress force by predefined file,stress in initial step.The first step is static,General to find equilibrium.
I embeded the beginning & the end of wire in foundation & cap. contact between (foundation,pier) & (pier,cap) is hard normal contact and the tangential behavior is penalty.
the analysis run with Zero pivot warning and tension stress in wire did not transfer to the concrete as a compression stress!!!why?
I hope you help me.
best regard.
mojdeh.
