I have an FE model in Ansys 13.0 Multiphysics utility which has 48 Load Steps. I want to find the envelope von mises stresses for each node in the model (absolute maximum value at each node out of the 48 runs), but I am not sure exactly how to do that.
I found a macro on the ansys website which...
I've been asked to determine the location and quantity of reinforcement required for an 8' tall retaining wall. I used SRWall 4.0 software using the vendor provided VDF file containing the information on the blocks and geosynthetic to be used for the project. I've managed to figure out the exact...
Can any one refer me to a textbook/paper that discusses a method for calculating the effects of long term weathering on the shear strength of high plasticity clays?
This is for a slope stability analysis, in the long term condition. I generally use a reduction factor of 0.9 on the long term CU...
I am working on a project in the Houston, TX area. The site has low PI (ranging from 2 to 10) soils in the upper 2 feet, followed by high PI (ranging from 27 to 46) soils continuing to about fifteen feet. The client has requested to use conventionally reinforced monolithic slab-on-grade...
