Figure 8.1-a : mesh and boundary conditions

Modeling: DKTG

Boundary conditions:

  • \(\mathrm{DRY}=0.0\) on the \({A}_{1}-{A}_{3}\) ridge

  • \(\mathrm{DRY}={R}_{0}\times f(t)\) on the \({A}_{2}-{A}_{4}\) edge,

where \({R}_{0}=3.0\times {10}^{-2}\) and \(f(t)\) is the magnitude of the cyclic loading as a function of the (pseudo-time) parameter \(t\).

To verify the model, consider the following loading function:

8.4. notes#

The test case carried out here aims to test model BETON_REGLE_PRsous stresses that are significant enough for steels to effectively recover their stiffness.

The behavior is similar in bending for the laws BETON_REGLE_PRet ENDO_ISOT_BETON under load: the differences appear for large loads due to the difference in behavior under compression.

The landfill response is not taken into account by law BETON_REGLE_PR (elastic response).

We observe a symmetry of the response for law BETON_REGLE_PR.

The \(\mathrm{DRX}\) rotation is zero with the BETON_REGLE_PR law because the Poisson effect is not taken into account.
