Modelling time dependent concrete properties in ABAQUS

Submitted by daithirothaithi on

I am
carrying out a non-linear analysis of a concrete section subjected to construction
loading. I am looking to model the time-dependent effects of the material
properties as well as creep and shrinkage properties of concrete. In the ABAQUS
manual it states the General Static procedure
cannot be used to model time dependent effects. Naturally the Riks Method would be ideal to account of
the non-linear effects however it doesn’t allow for the use of multiple steps in
the analysis which is necessary to model the various stages of construction

Cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion

Submitted by shavijabranko on

Dear all,

 Our paper titled "Cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion: A two-dimensional lattice model study"

 has just been published in Construction and Building Materials. It deals with numerical modelling of cracking of the concrete cover as a consequence of reinforcement corrosion, based on the Delft lattice model framework.

Durability of Reinforced concrete from Composition to Protection

Submitted by shavijabranko on

The 6th International PhD Student Workshop on Durability of Reinforced
Concrete will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, during July 4 and 5,
2013, hosted by TUDelft. After a series of successful workshops, most
recently in Espoo (2012), Madrid (2010) and Guimarães (2009), IPSW2013
will be held under the auspices of RILEM EAC (Educational Activities
Committee), aiming to bring together young researchers in the field of
durability of concrete.

This workshop, aimed at PhD students dealing with concrete durability (in a broad sense), is free of charge.

Dear all,

 

Proceedings of the V International PhD workshop dealing with durability of concrete, which was held in Finland in February, have been published. The publication is available for free download at:  http://www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/technology/2012/T65.pdf . Many interesting and innovative topic, dealing both with experimental and numerical research of concrete durability, are presented.

Hi all,

 

Our research team took part in the conference "Sustainable Solutions for Concrete Structures", which took place in Aix-en-Provence, in France. The conference was dedicated mainly to recent advances in modelling of concrete and concrete structures. As always, more details can be found on:  microlab-m3c4.blogspot.com

 

Cheers!
