Three–dimensional nonlinear finite–element models have been developed to investigate the loading–unloading–reloading behaviour of two reinforced–concrete beams under four–point bending using explicit dynamics in ABAQUS. The damaged–plasticity model proposed by Lubliner and collaborators was employed for the plain concrete, and elastic–perfectly pla...
Three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite–element (FE) models have been developed within the FE code ABAQUS to simulate the loading–unloading–reloading behaviour of full–scale reinforced concrete (RC) beams externally retrofitted with carbon–fibre–reinforced polymers (CFRP) sheets and tested under four–point bending. Engineers embarking on such types...
This paper presents a numerical investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under four-point bending. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite-elements models were developed using ABAQUS/Explicit. The 'Concrete Damaged Plasticity' model was used to model the concrete behaviour. Two different types of elements and meshes were empl...
