hello everyone,
I am trying to model a concrete element subjected to static load using Abaqus Standard. For concrete, I am using Concrete Damaged Plasticity and beam elements for my reinforcement. I am embedding my reinforcement into the concrete (host elements).
Since I started, I faced several issues. They are overconstraint, numerical singularity and negative eigen values. I managed to resolve both of them. However, the behavior from my model is nowhere near the experimental data that I have. It seems that the model is excessively stiff.
I have checked my material model's stress-strain, tried finer elements but it does not help. I am really lost as in why the model is stiff and I am not getting results near the experimental data.
Does anyone have experienced modeling RC elements subjected to static loads in Abaqus Standard? I really hope that you can offer me some advice. I really appreciate that.
Thank you and Regards,
Joseph

take to furnish the data.

I am trying to use concrete damaged plasticity for RC beam.
hi amar now that i'm working on damage modelling. ..even i'm fascing the same problem can you please let me know where i have went wrong.
even i'm encountering with the error

above is the data i have used
can you tell me how
can you tell me how reinforcemnt concrete in abaqus program
please help me
In reply to can you tell me how by ahmed khalil2006
Best way is to go through
Best way is to go through the cracking models of concrete and other models related to concrte given in the abaqus documentation. You have
* Rebar layer option with * shell section ---for reinforcement in concrete.

I’m trying to model a reinforced concrete beam using concrete
damage plasticity. I have conducted an experiment for both uniaxial tensile and
uniaixle compressive test. I have used
ABAQUS concrete damage plasticity. I have derived both Tension stiffening and Compression
hardening parameter but I have a problem with concrete compression damage and
concrete tension damage. I don’t know how and what equations I should use and
how to derive the data.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me.
