Abaqus tutorials Abaqus tutorials
In this tutorial, the Simulation air blast load over a reinforced concrete beam with a spiral GFRP bar in Abaqus has been investigated. The concrete beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part, the spiral GFRP is a solid part also. The steel reinforcements are modeled as three-dimensional wire parts. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below
The past decade has witnessed frequent occurrences of localized wars and terrorist attacks. Some important infrastructure such as government buildings, and embassy buildings might be targets of a terrorist bombing attack. Understanding structural response to explosive loads is essential to protect critical infrastructure against explosions. Damage assessment of RC beams has been an active research field for many years due to RC beams being the primary connection and the force transmission in building structures
The elastic-plastic material model is selected for the steel reinforcements, and the proper material model is used for concrete and GFRP. The dynamic explicit step is appropriate for this type of analysis. The proper mesh, boundaries, and loads are applied to all parts. To model blast load, the CONWEP method is selected
After the simulation, all results like stress, strain, failure, damage, GFRP deformation, diagrams, and others are available. You can see some figures for the results below
