Finite Element Analysis of Bottom Loaded Continuous Deep Beams with and without Web Openings
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
This research presents a study for the prediction of the behavior of bottom loaded continuous deep beams (CDB) numerically by using finite element modeling (FEM). ABAQUS 2017 finite element software program is used for simulation the CDB. The results of FEM are calibrated and validated with experimental data by Farag A. (1999) [18] . A parametric study using the calibrated model is used to cover more parameters for predicting the behavior of bottom loaded continuous deep beams with openings. The results of FEM show that the increasing of ultimate capacity of bottom loaded continuous deep beams depends on position of web openings and percentage of either horizontal or vertical web reinforcement ratio. In addition, the vertical web reinforcement ratio is more efficient than horizontal web reinforcement ratio. Further, it observed from the results that, additional reinforcement around opening has small effect on ultimate capacity of CDB. Finally, a simplified strut-and-tie model is developed for each bottom loaded CDB.
