Failure of a Concrete Beam Using Coupled Damage–Plasticity

Application ID: 118671


Failure of reinforced concrete structures involves advanced material behavior and interaction between materials. This example demonstrates how to model various stages of the failure of a reinforced concrete beam.

The material model includes a coupled damage-plasticity model for the concrete, metal plasticity for the rebars, and a nonlinear bond-slip law for the interaction between concrete and the rebar.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
