Hi!! Does anyone know how to model pre-stressed concrete using Abaqus? I am trying to model normal reinforcement and pre-stressing reinforcement. Your help will be much appreciated.
Hi,
I am working on a model which consists of 2 concrete slabs connected with 15 steel bars (dowels). Earlier i had connected a simpler model which worked perfectly. However this model gives a bunch of errors.
1) ***WARNING: THERE ARE 9 UNCONNECTED REGIONS IN THE MODEL.
I went back and forth...
Hi all, I corrected a few errors from the mode however there is an error regarding element distortion. The warning shown is as follows:
***WARNING: 420 elements are distorted. Either the isoparametric angles are out of the suggested limits or the triangular or tetrahedral quality measure is...
The link given is incorrect. The correct link is as follows:

Hi, I have been trying to model a rigid pavement with doweled joints using abaqus. I have been successful in using springs for the connection. The results do not match with the actual data. Hence i have been trying to embed steel bars into the concrete to simulate the joints. However the model...
Hi All,
I would like to thank the forum members for posting questions and answers. these were of much help to me as i am a new abaqus user. I am trying to model jointed rigid pavement to study the effect of dynamic loading. Earlier i had used spring elements to simulate dowel joints but they do...
