Thanks for your replies. i will try all such constrains and then will compare results. i will back with results on same question.
i feel those who have research background on reinforced concrete could answer it best.
Well thanks dear for your time
Tie constrain will lead to deform the beam only. while column at the joint interface will not deform. it will behave as rigid. yes i model reinforcement as wires and then using embedded constrain with concrete.
Hello,
I am working on reinforced concrete beam-column joints. In Abaqus, i have defined them as a parts i.e beam and column. Since beam and column need to joined at, which is often called as beam-column interface. How and what type of interaction, i need defined between beam and column so...
Dear How to assign soil pressure on vertical retaining wall in ETABS 9.7.4 version. ? What element we have to assign to this Retaining wall ? WALL ELEMENT OR SHELL ELEMENT ?
@cyrosmith 85 Dear . Thanks for your reply. but you can do re-mesh but it can not be enlarged, it get divieded into further small elements. what i need is , say i have meshed (1 element = 10 feet length by 10 feet wall )shell element into 5 elements so i get 2 by 2 feet elements.now i want to...
I have assign area elements (Walls as shell element ) to frames and meshed it very finely . which makes my model too much loaded as its congested grid so it got too much loaded. Now i want to mesh it coarsely ( say i did it 20 by 20 element and now i want it do as 5 by 5 elements ).Kindly Tell...
