In this project a Finite Element analysis is
performed on a singly reinforced concrete
beam and on a doubly reinforced concrete
beam.
Different plasticity models are used for the
concrete material in order to test the accuracy
of each one of them into the Finite Element
method in Abaqus.
Analytical calculations are correspondingly
performed in the interest of comparing the
numerical analysis with the analytical result.
The moment-rotation curve from Abaqus is
compared with the moment capacity
calculated in the analytical analysis as well as
the stress and strain distribution along the
cross section of the beam.
