Pull-out test analysis of a 3D ribbed steel bar from the UHPFRC
Abstract In this tutorial, the Simulation pull-out test of a ribbed steel bar from Ultra-High-Performance-Fiber-Reinforced Concrete in Abaqus has been investigated. The steel bar is a three-dimensional model with full details. The UHPFRC part is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. To model UHPFRC, the Concrete Damaged Plasticity material behavior with strain damage option is […]
Simulation an analysis of the Steel-Timber composite beam under fire conditions in Abaqus
In recent years, steel-timber composite (STC) beams have gained popularity in construction due to their efficient structural performance and sustainability. These hybrid systems combine the high strength and ductility of steel with the renewable and lightweight properties of timber, offering an optimized solution for modern buildings. However, when exposed to fire, the behavior of these […]
Flexural analysis of RC beam strengthened with mortar layer Load capacity model
Reinforced concrete (RC) beams are widely used structural elements in buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. Over time, these beams may experience deterioration due to overloading, aging, corrosion, or design deficiencies. To restore or enhance their structural capacity, strengthening techniques are employed. One such method is strengthening with a mortar layer, which is a cost-effective and […]
Analysis of an ice sheet in interaction with water subjected to underwater explosion load
In this tutorial, the simulation of an ice sheet in interaction with water subjected to underwater explosion(UNDEX) load by using the CEL method has been studied. To model ice failure and damage, the Johnson-Holmquist brittle damage model is considered. In polar and subpolar regions, floating ice sheets often interact with man-made structures and activities, including […]
Strengthening of an RC column incorporating different configurations of steel plates and rods
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures can require strengthening and rehabilitation over their service life due to deterioration, changes in usage, or deficiencies in the original design. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are often used for the repair and retrofit of RC elements. Additional jacketing using the steel tube known as concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns is also […]
Analysis of the bolted wood-steel panel under tension load
Analysis of Bolted Wood-Steel Panels under Tension Load In modern timber construction, hybrid systems that combine wood and steel elements are increasingly used to optimize structural performance and material efficiency. One such hybrid system is the bolted wood-steel panel, where steel plates are bolted to timber elements to transfer loads, improve stiffness, and enhance connection […]
Cyclic loading analysis of a reinforced wood-cement wall
Introduction to Cyclic Loading Analysis of a Reinforced Wood-Cement Wall The cyclic loading analysis of a reinforced wood-cement wall is a critical aspect of evaluating the wall’s structural performance, especially under dynamic or seismic loads. Wood-cement composites, often referred to as cement-bonded particleboards or wood-cement panels, combine the sustainability and flexibility of wood with the […]
Analysis of shear stud distribution on the flextural behavior of a steel–concrete composite beam
Steel–concrete composite beams have become a preferred structural system in modern construction due to their superior load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and overall structural efficiency compared to traditional steel or concrete members alone. These beams consist of a steel section, typically an I-beam, integrated with a concrete slab, working together to resist bending through composite action. A […]
Simulation and analysis of subsurface tunnel with GFRP protection against internal blast using CEL method
Introduction In recent years, the threat of internal explosions within critical underground infrastructure, such as transportation tunnels, utility corridors, and military bunkers, has underscored the need for advanced protective measures. Subsurface tunnels, though naturally shielded from surface threats, are particularly vulnerable to internal blasts due to their enclosed geometry and confined environment. The resulting overpressure […]
Analysis of shock pressure and shock-wave attenuation near a blast hole in rock with CEL method
Introduction Blasting is a widely employed technique in mining, tunneling, and civil engineering to fragment rock masses for excavation and material handling. When an explosive charge is detonated within a blast hole, it generates an intense shock wave that propagates through the surrounding rock medium. The initial shock pressure is extremely high near the borehole, […]
