Abstract

The report is a support for the study of structural behavior under certain loads. First, simply suported steel beams and simply supported reinforced concrete beams, under uniformly distributed loads, are analyzed, by both analytical and numerical methods. Second, embedded columns and multy-storey structures, made out rst of steel and then reinforced concrete, are studied. The analytical equations are derived according to the theory involved and then encoded in Matlab so they can be used in then future for other similar problems. For the numerical analysis, two Finite Element programs are used, i.e. Abaqus and a 2D code created in Matlab. The report is a useful tool for the ones who want to study in detail reinforced concrete sections, plastic behavior, and also for the ones who want to learn how to model structures subjected to seismic loads in Abaqus, by means of accelerograms. The report is supported by a DVD. Its content can also be requested by contacting the author at vincul12@student.aau.dk or vladinculetz@gmail.com.
