Simulation Ultra High Performance Concrete beam-column joint under cyclic loading in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation Ultra High Performance Concrete beam-column joint under cyclic loading in Abaqus has been investigated. The UHPC beam-column joint is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. The steel bars and strips are modeled as three-dimensional wire part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an advanced technology in concrete industry with superior characteristics such as high strength in compression and tension, ductility, and durability. The UHPC materiel data is used to model beam-column behavior under cyclic loading. The CDP model needs compression and tensile data separately. The elastic-plastic material model is used for the steel bars and strips. To model cyclic loading, a general step with some changes in the divergence model is selected and the proper outputs are requested to the obtain hysteresis diagram in the visualization. The embedded region constraint is consider for the embedded bars and strips inside the concrete host. The fixed boundary conditions is assigned to the two top and bottom surfaces of the column and cyclic displacement to the free surface of the beam by using a protocol. The mesh should be fine to achieve the correct results

After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, displacement, and hysteresis are available. You can see some figures for the results below
