Ansys - Concrete nonlinear beam

Submitted by Guillaume Gondre on
software
Concrete nonlinear beam

Hello,

I have to model with the Ansys software a beam in concrete material. It must be non linear.

In materials properties, I can choose Materials models - Structural - nonlinear - inelastic - non metal plasticity - concrete.

I put the Elastic Modulus, the Poisson´ratio, the uniaxial cracking stress and the uniaxial crushing stress. But I don´t know how I can enter the values of the strain at fc (compressive cylinder strength) and the value of the fracture energy.

Can you help me even if you don´t know exactly how to do... some advices can be really welcome.

Thank you.

Guillaume

Hi,

Can you send me the files at snmdorji09 [at] gmail.com. Will be really helpful as I am writing a thesis. In fact, I would also need a tutorial on modeling an RC frame (with or without infill masonry) in Ansys and OpenSees. Thank you.

You should really consider OpenSEES, a freely available software system.

If it is suitable for your needs it would likely be easier to use than ANSYS.  It has many material models and can do modeling of concrete beams with reinforcement specified in the cross-section.  It also, can do many different types of nonlinear analysis.  It is however, primarily for beam elements.

You can find informatiion about OpenSEES at the following link

I'm about to start 2D modeling of a RC member considering its fracture behaviour. I intend to see crack opening in my model. to do this job I have many problems like:

which type of concrete material I should use? is Concrete damaged Plasticity proper for this model or I must use Brittle Cracking?

How can I use Element Removal in my model? is it necessary to use Abaqus Explicit?

I will be really appreciate if enyone helps me.

Hi all, 

I just started my postgraduate study about EB FRP reinforcement of concrete beams, I will use ANSYS for modelling. I will appreciate if anyone can send me these files: satli35 [at] hotmail.com

hi....can u pls forward me the ansys file at my email:preet_crystal [at] yahoo.com

it wil b a great help as i m doing my thesis on ansys using nonlinear concrete model....

thanks

Dear all

I am interested in using beam element in abaqus and define the stress
resultant- displacement nonlinear curve ( Axial-displacement,
Moment-curvature, torque-twist angle), could you please guid me , how i
can define these curves for beam behaviour?

It's my e-mail adress:

Your reply would appreciated in advance.
