Abstract text:
Concrete structural components exist in buildings in different forms. Understanding the response of these components during loading is crucial to the development of an overall efficient and safe structure. Different methods have been utilized to study the response of structural components. Experimental based testing has been widely used as a means to analyse individual elements and the effects of concrete strength under loading. While this is a method that produces real life response, it is extremely time consuming, and the use of materials can be quite costly. The use of finite element analysis to study these components has also been used. The performed study investigation attempts to compare the results from elastic analysis of a reinforced beam under transverse loading, using an analysis software package to that obtained from a normal theoretical analysis.
Key Words:
reinforced concrete beams; finite element analysis; ANSYS; reinfor-cement modeling.
