Hello Professor, your video has been really helpful when I was doing my dissertation project. I was just wondering if you have any tutorials or if you have done any simulation on the carbonation of concrete? If not do you think it is possible to create a 3D model of a simple concrete cube going through carbonation in ANSYS? Thank you very much. :)

Nice job on the video. It was quite helpful. I was wondering if there is a way of obtaining the dilatancy angle, since it's probably not the same for different concretes.

That's not an easy question. Most of the time selecting the dilatancy angle comes down to experience or fitting some existing lab data. I suggest checking out this paper (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1644966519300767) for a more in-depth discussion. They use ABAQUS instead of ANSYS, but it should be similar.

Good day Professor, thank you for this tutorial. I wonder what is the best contact to use in simulating cold joints in a reinforced concrete model.
@StructuresProfH Жыл бұрын
That is an excellent question, for which I do not know the answer. I assume some sort of cohesive (modeling resistance to separation of the joint) and frictional (modeling resistance to sliding along the joint) contact would be best, but I do not have personal experience with that kind of model. If it's very well connected with no separation and no sliding, perhaps start with a bonded connection for simplicity of modeling - when adding model complexity, it's nice to progressively add one complication at a time so that, if an issue arrives, it is easier to pinpoint the problem.

Thank you
@StructuresProfH Жыл бұрын
This video just treats concrete as a perfectly plastic material, no hardening or softening, and uses the Menetrey-Willam model. This works for simple problems, but if you are dealing with hardening and softening, I'd recommend going to the microplane model, which is the focus of the next video in this series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL6SjdGZrMDQmY0.html. The plasticity in this microplane model implementation uses a Drucker-Prager yield surface, but also incorporates damage and nonlocality for softening. It's quite a bit more complex than perfect plasticity, but that next video will give you thorough guidance of how to implement it.

Dear Prof, when we choose model type of the rebar as reinforcement, it will automatically assigned as element type REINF264. At ambient temperature, the contact of rebar and concrete will remain bonded. However, at high temperature, is there any contact issues between the rebar and the concrete? Or for thermal, should we choose other element type for the rebar or add thermal coefficient between the contact? Thank you.
@StructuresProfH2 жыл бұрын
My understanding is that reinforcement elements in ANSYS are perfectly bonded, and will not debond due to temperature or stress. The stiffness of the rebar is effectively incorporated into the solid element into which it is embedded, and temperature of the reinforcement element matches that of the base element. This probably does not necessarily reflect reality at high temperatures, which is likely much more complex. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific expertise in coupled mechanical-thermal analysis at high temperatures.

My guess is you are looking for either a normal stress solution (if you just want the stresses in a particular direction, for example, along the length of the beam) or the principal stress solution for getting peak compression and tension regardless of direction.

Thank you very much!!! I have a doubt about using FEM with concrete. Is it possible to considere the bond strengh of reinforcement to analyse the behaviour of anchorage zone?
@StructuresProfH2 жыл бұрын
It should be possible, but not using the method I described in this video. The reinforcement option that I've shown here effectively has perfect bond (no slip, infinite strength). I don't have personal experience with modeling bond failures, but at least in theory you would need to model the reinforcement as a beam or truss, then couple it to the surrounding concrete using some sort of nonlinear springs.

@@StructuresProfH I am thinking in modelling the anchorage zone with a 8 (for example) segments in the rebar with a linear area section variation. It would simulate a linear bond strength.

This is outside my expertise, but I imagine that the coupled CPT215 (linear) or CPT216 (quadratic) elements are your best bet for thermal-mechanical simulations. This element is used with the Microplane model for the mechanical properties in this linked video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL6SjdGZrMDQmY0.html).

I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with Solid65 to address your question. I believe it requires APDL, no exceptions.

Ansys 2019 doesn't seem to have reinforcement in model type, only beam. In this case, what can be done to ensure that the rebar is embedded inside concrete ?
@StructuresProfH2 жыл бұрын
The reinforcement option was added I believe in 2020, so it's a new function. In older versions, you can model the reinforcement as a "Link/Truss" element constrained to the concrete. When you mesh the rebar, the element size for the link/truss should align as closely as possible with the solid concrete elements into which it is embedded. You'll need to change the Mesh Sizing behavior to HARD (default is SOFT), otherwise ANSYS will only make a single element along the length of the link/truss. Then you need to create a "Commands" object within your Static Structural Analysis (or whatever type of analysis you are doing) with the following information: /PREP7 ! Pre-processing step ESEL,S,ENAME,,186 ! Select solid elements (Concrete) - SOLID186 ESEL,A,ENAME,,180 ! Select rebar elements - LINK180 ALLSEL,BELOW,ELEM ! Select "down" one level from the elements (Geometry > Elements > Nodes) CEINTF,0.25,ALL,,,,,,0.05 ! Bonds the two selections together (NODES ONLY!) ALLSEL,ALL ! Reselect all before doing the analysis /SOLU ! Done after/during analysis OUTRES,ALL,ALL ! Output results (all) This will bond the rebar nodes (Link180) to the solid element nodes (SOLID186). It should behave essentially the same as reinforcement, unless the meshes are very different sizes, in which case this doesn't always work out.

Dear Professor! In the "Model type" option, if I select "Cable", will it be a compressed structure? 12:51
@StructuresProfH2 ай бұрын
No, the "Cable" option will not automatically prestress the structure, though you can do that with a little work. If you have a linear mesh, Cable creates the LINK180 element designation, which is the same as you would use for a simple truss. If you have a quadratic mesh, Cable creates the CABLE280 element. This element requires tensile stress to provide adequate transverse stiffness, and may be unstable under compression - it works essentially like a hanging string or cable. For most applications, either Link/Truss or Cable would work for applying prestressing, but I think Link/Truss is a bit easier to deal with. Either way, to apply prestressing you need to define an initial stress in the link or cable. The INISTATE command using Mechanical APDL is the way to go.

@StructuresProfH2 жыл бұрын
Omojo, A solver pivot error typically occurs when you do not have enough constraint on your model, generally resulting in extremely large or infinite displacement for the applied load. It's impossible to know where this happens in the model, but the most likely candidates are (1) your rebar may not be completely embedded and properly constrained to the concrete beam or (2) some other boundary condition, contact, or constraint is improperly defined.

It has been a few years since I last used Abaqus, and it's tough to say which is overall "better." If you know what you are doing, both can accommodate most engineering problems you throw at them. Based purely on my subjective opinion, I feel that ANSYS is more user-friendly, but I prefer Abaqus for more advanced modeling (i.e., if I need to create a user subroutine using Fortran or use the Python scripting environment). Abaqus has the Concrete Damaged Plasticity material option - if you don't specify the damage options, it is fairly similar to the Menetrey-Willam or Drucker-Prager model. If you want to include coupled damage-plasticity in ANSYS, then your best bet is to use the Microplane material model.

When using the reinforcement element option for the rebar, there is no need to add a contact region between the rebar and the concrete. ANSYS effectively modifies the stiffness of the "embedding" element based on the "embedded" element. This does mean, however, that the reinforcement element is effectively fixed (no bond slip) to the concrete.
