Nonlinear Analysis of precast Concrete Beam Bending Failure Experimentation Based on ABAQUS

Abstract

The nonlinear analysis of a reinforced concrete beam was conducted based on the finite element analysis software ABAQUS. In this simply supported beam analysis, the plasticity model of concrete damage in ABAQUS has been introduced thoroughly. Finally, the results of the experimentation and the ABAQUS analysis were compared in a diagram, accordingly reasons of the result difference between the two methods were discussed, which can be a useful reference for the further study of the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete.
