Abstract

This study deals with the finite element modelling of reinforced concrete beam and column using ANSYS. The study covers a comprehensive introduction to ANSYS, such that any beginner can learn the useful and effective use of the ANSYS in order to model and analyze any type of structure like beam and column. ANSYS is a very handy and effective tool in modelling and analysis of various structural element based on finite element modelling. A detailed study of the work includes the modelling of beam and column with specific cross sections and reinforcement details. Further the column with a lateral hole at the center is evaluated in terms of cracking response around the hole. The experimental work is carried out in the concrete laboratory of civil engineering department UET Taxila .The results of that experimental work is then compared eventually with the results that’s were obtained by analysis through ANSYS. As a summary of the work the results were compared in terms of the stress, strain and cracking around the hole. It is concluded that the response of the column around the hole/opening in terms of cracking pattern in both elastic and post elastic stages was much more comparable with that of experimental work. Keywords: Finite element modelling, ANSYS, Column, Lateral hole, Stress, strain, Elastic, post elastic, cracking pattern. DOI : 10.7176/IEL/9-1-03
