RC Beam Analysis With ANSYS Step by Step
ANSYS Multiphysics 11 is used here for the analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beam. In ANSYS, all the units should be converted to a same unit and just use the value. For modeling concrete structure in ANSYS, Solid65 element type is used. This solid is capable of cracking in tension and crushing in compression [1]. In this tutorial, the use of value -1 for uniaxial crushing stress removes crushing capability and cracking of the concrete control the failure of the finite element model [2]. The shear transfer coefficient describes the ability of an open or closed crack to transfer loads. These coefficients can vary from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating a very smooth crack and 1 indicating a rough crack surface [3]. Here, open shear transfer coefficient is considered as 0.3 and closed shear transfer coefficient is 1. Uniaxial cracking stress is 3.6e6 Pa . Elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio for concrete and steel used here are respectively 3e10 Pa, 2e11 Pa and 0.2, 0.3. Beam dimension: Len...
