In this tutorial Simulation tapered concrete steel column subjected axial loading in Abaqus has been studied.The concrete core is modeled as three dimensional part and steel is modeled as a three dimensional shell part. Two rigid boundary conditions and loading point in Abaqus.You can see a figure of the assembled part at below
Concrete Damage Plasticity(CDP) is used to model concrete behavior under axial load. The steel cover material is modeled as elastic plastic material. Dynamic explicit and general static step are implied in the two separate analysis.In the dynamic simulation the contact between steel and concrete is assumed as surface to surface contact with friction coefficient ,shear stress behavior and elastic slip value to observe the separation . In the static simulation perfect contact is assumed.Proper boundary assigned to the tow reference points of the rigid bodies. Using a fine mesh is necessity things in this simulation
After the simulation all results such as stress,strain,tensile and compressive damage are achievable. You can see some figures of the results at below
