v3.03.139 SSLS139 — Flexion of a plate with simplified representation of the reinforcements

Summary:

The objective of this test is to validate the representation of reinforcement layers by a homogenized grid or membrane model in a reinforced concrete structure. A classical plate flexure problem is therefore considered, and the solution obtained is compared to a three-dimensional reference solution.

This is also an opportunity to verify the correct functioning of the membrane under large deformation, by comparing its results with the result in small deformations.
