Abstract


The thesis deals with the study of using finite element
method for analysis of reinforced concrete beams (Simple and Continuous beams). A three-dimensional model for finite element analysis of reinforced concrete based on smeared cracking approach is presented. The chosen element is three dimensional isoparametric brick element with twenty nodes. The steel reinforcement is smeared into equivalent steel layers with uniaxial properties in the bar direction (8- node element). Perfect bond between concrete and reinforcement is assumed.
Different experimental results of several tests conducted on R.C. Beams are taken as examples to show the applicability and the accuracy of the presented program. In these examples, the analytical results are compared with the experimental results including deflections and strains.
Finally, useful recommendation regarding the analysis
of R.C Beams using the finite element method are stated as it is an efficient tool to predict the strains, deformations, failure loads and defections of the tested beams.
Key Words: R.C. beams-Finite element - 3-D­ Mathematical model-Constitutive low- Non-linear behavior­ Material behavior- Solution of non-linear equetion.
