Abstract

Cracks are serious problems in the structural characteristics of a concrete structure due to several failure modes such as, flexural and shear. Reinforced concrete behaviour is complicated, and for a realistic simulation of such behaviour a prober material modelling has to be used. In this work an attempt has been made to simulate concrete and embedded reinforcement steel to predict the crack propagation in RC beam using a plastic damage behaviour by ABAQUS software. The proposed modelling has been validated against experimental results found in the literature. The results have shown that displacement associated with ultimate load is in a good agreement with experiment, as well as the failure load. The crack pattern indicated that the cracks will start from the tension zone in the bottom of RC beam and extended to top of beam.
