v6.04.269 SSNV269 — Validation of the RGI_BETON_BA law: Cyclic loading of a concrete specimen

Summary:

This document presents a test to validate the capabilities of the RGI_BETON_BA law of behavior. It should be noted that this law makes it possible to consider the reaction phenomena of internal swelling (RGI), creep, damage and distributed reinforcements. The behaviors of a free and reinforced specimen united axially under cyclic loading under simple traction are simulated.
