3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

We use 3D volume modeling for concrete and a GRILLE_MEMBRANE model for reinforcements whose support meshes are quadrangles.

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh contains:

  • 100 hexa20 meshes for concrete

  • 1 QUAD8 mesh for the steel frame

3.3. notes#

  • All the behaviors of the materials remain in the elastic domain.

  • Travel is evaluated in points \(A\) and \(B\) described above.

  • Deformations and stresses are evaluated in the concrete mesh adjacent to the inner surface and in the concrete mesh adjacent to the outer surface.
