4. B modeling#

4.1. Characteristics of modeling#

The modeling characteristics are the same as Model A.

4.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The mesh includes 5488 nodes, 868 quadratic hexahedra (HEXA20) to model concrete, 62 degenerate quadratic hexahedra (HEXA20) to represent the steel-concrete interface, and 62 quadratic quadrangles (QUAD8) to represent the reinforcing sheet.

4.3. Tested sizes and results#

The horizontal displacement of the reinforcement sheet at the end of the plate at two different times is compared with the three-dimensional reference modeling. These tests are duplicated with non-regression tests.
