Hi
All I am trying to model reinforced concrete column.I am using concrete damaged placity model.I used truss element for main reinforcement and ties .All main reinforcement and ties are embeded in concrete column.I need the following answer.
1-How ties confine the concrete column.
2-How can I apply the cyclic loading.
Please could you provide me any help in this regard.

I am trying to develop a model in ABAQUS and perform crack analysis using FRANC3D. I am having a problem right at the beginning.
I am able to create the model in ABAQUS and write the .inp file. I open this file in FRANC3D and am trying to insert a curved crack. I repeat a 'curved crack'. The crack is not planar. When I try to define the crack front using 'user defined points', the software is approximating all the points I enter to a best-fit 'plane'. So it is generating a planar crack when i wanta curved crack.
As a follow up to my first blog , I would like to know if the experimental data of applied loads and crack sizes or lengths, are sufficient to model the R-curve behaviour via the Fracture Mechanics approach.
I am a first year student of civil school in Myanmar.
I wanna get knowledge from all of you about civil engineering. Please show me the way to the success by a civil engineer .If u have something to guide me,u can send email nalazyboy [at] gmail.com (nalazyboy[at]gmail[dot]com)
thanks to all
