Hi!
I would like to assign a moment release to the beam shown in the picture, but not using the classic method that is commonly taught on YouTube or engineering forums. I know how to do it the classic way, which involves separately modeling a 2m length beam element (AB segment) and a 25m length...
Hi! I perform moving load analysis using Sprung mass (SDOF system) for bridge modal identification (called drive-by monitoring) from the vehicle responses. I face a problem when using more than one contact point (like two quarter cars).
The bridge (25m) and the approach slab (2m) are modelled...
Dear all,
I modelled a concrete cylinder (diameter:150mm,height:375mm, fixed at the base) for a compression test and applied 2 mm displacement under 2 sec and 4 sec separately, using both dynamic implicit and explicit methods. The obtained results were the same. However, the problem is that the...
Dear all,
Using the CDP model, I modelled an RC beam for a 4-point bending test. I followed all the instructions as explained in an example in the literature. The beam was loaded for 10 sec. I observed that the tensile region in the bottom of the mid-span turned out to be a compressive region...
