The reinforced concrete structure is typical and widely used in many fields predominantly concerning civil engineering structures. The real behavior of concrete is nonlinear and complex. Especially due to the fact that cracks’ evolution and crushing occurs in softening phase. It is important to find a plasticity material model of concrete with high reliability in the numerical simulation. The nonlinear behavior of concrete is one of the most challenging task in the technical simulation utilized within civil engineering.
Nonlinear numerical simulation considering nonlinear material behavior of concrete has one and only primary objective – to get as close to real life structural response as possible.
Numerical simulation studies based on “Debernardi P G, Taliano M. On evaluation of rotation capacity for reinforced concrete beams. ACI Structural Journal, 2002, 99(3): 360–368” have been performed in order to verify customized ANSYS solution.
Numerical simulation studies based on “Punching Tests of Slabs with Low Reinforcement Ratios by by Stefano Guandalini, Olivier L. Burdet, and Aurelio Muttoni” have been performed in order to verify customized ANSYS solution.
Numerical simulation studies of deep concrete beams shear failure based on “On the uniqueness of numerical solutions of shear failure of deep concrete beams: Comparison of smeared and discrete crack approaches, J. Cervenka & V. Cervenka, Cervenka Consulting Ltd., Prague, Czech Republic” were carried out:
