In order to research the stress performance of reinforced concrete beam with different forms of reinforcement around the openings, a numerical simulation on reinforced concrete beam with circle openings is made by using the finite element software. The constitutive relation of concrete offered by the 2010 edition of code for design of concrete structures and the concrete damaged plasticity model is adopted in this article. The damage factor is introduced in the process of modeling, which can reflect the damage of beams with different forms of reinforcement directly and help to reveal the failure mechanism of members. Thus we can propose the optimization of reinforcement method.

The reinforced RC girder with external prestress is applied more and more widely. Reinforcement of the girder is influenced by various factors, among which the concrete intensity degree and the prestress degree are mainly analyzed through the finite element software ABAQUS to learn their influence on the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC simply supported beam. Since the reinforcement stresses of RC girder (regular reinforced concrete beam) are far less than the maximum intensity of the reinforcing steel bar, the concrete in the pulled area cracks, which causes the stiffness of constructional elements to decrease, deform and expand so that the elements become useless before it is damaged. External prestress can effectively improve such defect of the RC girder, and a great deal of research has been carried out. Due to the experimental boundedness and discreteness, large general finite element software ABAQUS is adopted to analyze the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC girder, which is based on the size of experimental constructional elements in literature.

In this study, the behavior of reinforced concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars was investigated. A total of seventeen models were carried out based on the finite element software (ABAQUS). The concrete damage plasticity modeling was considered. Two types of fiber polymer bars, CFRP and GFRP as longitudinal reinforcement for concrete beam were used. The validation of numerical results was confirmed by experimental results, then the parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of change in different parameters, such as (diameter size, number of bars), type of FRP bars, longitudinal arrangement for FRP bars. All results were analyzed and discussed through, load-deflection diagram, according, to the difference parameter considered. The results showed that the use of FRP bars in rebar concrete beam improves the beam stiffness and enhance the cracking load. The load capacity enhanced in the range of (7.88-64.82%) when used CFRP bars. The load-carrying capacity of beams strengthened with CFRP is higher than that of strengthened with GFRP. Furthermore, the use of FRP bars in bottom and steel in top reinforcement is useful to overcome the large deflection, and improving the beam ductility. Finally, the results of finite element models were compared with the prediction equation, according to ACI440.1R-15.

The detection of the structur[1]al damage by the method of changes in frequency is limited in detecting single location of the structural damage. This paper try to solve the problems of how to detect the multi-location of the structural damages and the corresponding severity. Therefore, a simple supported large-size reinforced concrete beam in different damage conditions is simulated by the finite element software-ANSYS. Cruves of frequency changes ratio can be maped by the date of the simulation, the locations of damages and corresponding severity can be detection by judging the superposition of the intersections of many curves of the frequent changes ratio. The simulation results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper cannot only detection the multi-locations of the structural damages accurately, but also analyze the severity of the structural damages qualitatively.

A simplified finite element model for analysis of the Layered steel fiber beams with the concrete damaged plasticity model has been presented. The numerical simulation of load-deflection curve of layered steel fiber reinforced concrete beam under three-point loads is performed using ABAQUS. The results of simulation are generally in conformance with the experiment. The results of numerical simulation show that layered steel fiber has little contribution to the elastic capacity of concrete beam. But it can improve the ultimate bearing capacity of concrete beam obviously. The bending collapse style of layered steel fiber reinforced concrete beam is different from plain concrete beam evidently with obvious ductile characteristic.

Based on extended finite element method (XFEM) of the finite element software platform-ABAQUS, three-point bending numerical simulation of CFRP reinforced concrete beam with initial crack has been made to predict the 3D crack propagation path. The numerical tests present the crack propagation path under ultimate load and crack damage modes of non-CFRP and some different CFRP plies. The results show that the strength of CFRP reinforced concrete beam is obviously improved and the crack which previous penetrate through doesnt penetrate through concrete beam under CFRP reinforce based on multiple optometric numerical simulation results. The results of this paper can also provide some foundations for damage mode, the ultimate load and CFRP overlay design of reinforced concrete beams.

In this paper, the crack width and deflection of a local corroded reinforced concrete beam is investigated. The influence of the rebar corrosion on a concrete beam is analyzed first. Based on the constitutive relationship of the corroded reinforced concrete, the corroded reinforced concrete is regarded as a bond-slip composite beam which is comprised of corroded rebar and concrete. By using the large-scale finite element software ANSYS, a separate reinforced concrete beam model is developed after selecting the reasonable element. By using the proposed model, the positions of the cracks are determined. Moreover, the cracks width and the deflection of the beam at the corroded segment are calculated through using formula and extracting the results data from ANSYS. At last, the results by the standard design of concrete structures (GB50010-2010) and EN1992-1-1:2004[1] are compared through the list, which show the crack width and deflection of the local corroded reinforced concrete beams calculated by ANSYS is feasible.

This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.

Many engineering facilities are severely damaged by blast loading. Therefore, many manufacturers of sensitive, breakable, and deformed structures (such as facades of glass buildings) carry out studies and set standards for these installations to withstand shock waves caused by explosions. Structural engineers also use these standards in their designs for various structural elements by following the ISO Damage Carve, which links pressure and Impulse. As all the points below this curve means that the structure is safe and will not exceed the degree of damage based on the various assumptions made. This research aims to derive the Iso-Damage curve of a reinforced concrete beam exposed to blast wave. An advanced volumetric finite element program (ABAQUS) will be used to perform the derivation.

The bending behavior of reinforced concrete beams under uniform pressure is critical for the research of the blast-resistance performance of structural components under explosive loads. In this study, a bending test of five reinforced concrete beams with the dimensions of 200 mm (width) × 200 mm (depth) × 2500 mm (length) under uniform load produced by a specific cylinder-shaped rubber bag filled with air or water was conducted to investigate their flexural performances. An air bag load was applied to three of the reinforced concrete beams, a water bag load was applied to one reinforced concrete beam, and the remainder beam was subjected to the 4-point bending load. The experimental results highlighted that the air bag and water bag loading methods can be used to effectively apply uniform loads to reinforced concrete beams. Moreover, the stiffness of the air bag was improved by 123% in accordance with the initial pressure increases from 0.15 to 0.45 MPa. In addition, a finite element model of the test loading system was established using ABAQUS/Standard software. Moreover, the critical factors of the air bag loading method were analyzed using the numerical model. The calculated results were found to be in good agreement with the test data. The established finite element model can therefore be used to accurately simulate the action performances of the uniform loading technique using rubber bags filled with air or water.
