Abstract

AbstractThe paper presents the tridimensional numeric model of an inner slab‐column connection of reinforced concrete, which was previously tested against the punching shear in the lab of the University of Brasília. The numerical analysis has been carried out by the finite element method, using the software ABAQUS. To evaluate the sensitivity of the main factors that influence the responses of the model, a parametric investigation was conducted as per the finite element mesh, mechanical properties of the concrete and plastic parameters of the assumed model for the concrete, named by concrete damaged plasticity model (CDPM). The results of the resistance capacity, displacements, strains, cracking pattern, and failure mode were compared with those obtained experimentally. From this comparison, it was concluded that the numerical model was able to reproduce the punching shear phenomenon with a high level of precision.
