Hi all,
I'm using SAP2000 v20, and I'm using area shell-layered elements to model a pavement with two layers of reinforcement. Non-linear material properties are used to model behavior under temperature changes, concrete creep, and shrinkage effects. In the output table, I observed that the...
Hi All,
I'm modeling a 200 m long (10.5 m wide) pavement in SAP2000 using Membrane area elements (1 m x 2.1 m). The area elements are assigned area springs to simulate friction. The material is loaded in tension. The material model used is an area average of steel and concrete models in tension...
