Simulation RC beam column joint reinforced with steel plates and rods under vertical load in abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation RC beam column joint reinforced with steel plates and rods under vertical load in abaqus  has been investigated. The concrete beam-column is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. The steel bar and strip are modeled as three-dimensional wire part. The steel plates and rods are modeed as three-dimensional solid part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

Concrete is a very heterogeneous material which shows complex nonlinear mechanical behavior. In addition, it is very difficult to define damage in a concrete structure. In the analysis of concrete structures using the finite element method, material models are used for these purposes. An example of these material models is concrete damage plasticity material model. This material model combines the yield theory of plasticity and theory of damage mechanics in order to effectively analyze the concrete structures behavior. Material parameters identification of concrete damage plasticity material model is performed in this example. The concrete damaged plasticity can shows the tension and compression damage of the beam column joint after loading. The steel material with elastic-plastic behaviour is considered for all steel reinforcement. To model damage behaviour of the steel plates and rods, the ductile damage criterion is selected. Both dynamic and static step can be used in this tutorial, to decrease the time of the simulation, dynamic explicit step with mass scale technique is used. The perfect conctact, surface to surface contact with friction, and embdded region constraint are applied for all parts. The concentrated force is applied to the top surface of the column and displacement to the end of the beam. The mesh should fine to obtain the correct result.

After the simulation, all resutls such as stress, strain, tension and compression damage, failure, force, and … are available. You can see some figures for the results below
