How to model FRP in ANSYS or ABAQUS?

Submitted by Reza Emdad on Mon, 2010-08-02 04:42.

 

I am new to ANSYS and ABAQUS. 

Can anyone help me on modelling FRP in ANSYS or ABAQUS?

The type of element I have to choose is a question for me. I want to model a steel beam upgraded with FRP.

Best regards

Dear Reza Emdad,

is the beam 100% of steel or is it a concrete reinforced beam? How do you want to joint the FRP with the steel or with the concrete?

Regards,

Mikel

You can use Membrane 41 or shell 181 in ANSYS

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reply.

I have tested steel plates upgraded with FRP. The FRP is attached to the steel using adhesives.

Reza

Dear Reza

did you find any thing for your question?

 

I have the same problem and I want to model an overwrap composite around a steel pipe. if you have any paper or reference, it would be grate if you help me.

Not yet, Still searching for modelling methods,

I am studying ANSYS manual to see the capabilities

Under what type of load (or analysis method) are u retrofiting the specimen?

NSM FRP

Submitted by stelios13 on Sat, 2011-07-02 20:54.

Hi everyone,

I am doing my dissertation on seismic strengthening of structures using FRP.I have to make a model on ansys but has anyone used Near Surface Mounting (NSM) FRP on RC beams before?

Furthermore, since I don't have enough experience on ANSYS do you think Abagus would be easier to use?

regards,

Stelios

hi,nariman and reza and likhin and mikel, please help me.

I modeled a steel coupling beam into concrete shear wall,
i am going to verify an exprimental model,but i steel couldn't get it, i think my problem is in modeling of beam to wall interface, i used embedded constraint, but it hasn't correct result,
please help me.
thank you
