Nonlinear numerical analysis of the structural behaviour of prestressed steel reinforced concrete (PSRC) beams was carried out by using finite element analysis software ABAQUS. By comparing the load-deformation curves, the rationality and reliability of the finite element model have been confirmed; moreover, the changes of the beam stiffness and stress in the forcing process and the ultimate bearing capacity of the beam were analyzed. Based on the model, the effect of prestressed force, and H-steel to the stiffness, the ultimate bearing capacity and ductility of beam were also analyzed.

In order to improve the bearing capacity of SRC which is related with deformation and stiffiness, SRC beams should be strengthened by CFRP. Based on the experiment of six pre-splitting steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with (Prestressed) CFRP sheets, the deformation of beams are discussed. Load-deformation curves are obtained by the experiment. Considering the influence of intial bending moment on SRC beams, the calculated deformation formulas of SRC beams strengthened by (Prestressed) CFRP are deduced. The results showed that the load-deformation curves of normal and strengthened beams respectively showed three and two linear characteristics. The theoretical results which calculated by the formulas of deformation are well agreement with the experimental results.

The finite element software ANSYS is used to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of ordinary beam and circular hole beam, and the results are compared with the test values made by predecessors. The value of shear transfer coefficient between cracks of reinforced concrete beam with circular hole in the abdomen in ANSYS finite element simulation is summarized. The coefficient is used to simulate the circular hole beam strengthened by steel sleeve, and it is pointed out that the steel tube is used to reinforce the circular hole beam The effect of tube reinforcement on the bearing capacity of circular hole beam is not obvious.

In this study, a finite element model is developed for simulation of the structural behaviour of steel-reinforced concrete panels under blast loading using LS-DYNA. Pure Lagrangian formulation is applied in the finite element analysis, and the strain rate effect is taken into account in the material models of both concrete and steel. The finite element model is validated by comparing the computed results with experimental test results from the literature. Structural behaviour of concrete panel with different parameters under blast loading is also investigated.

With the help of large general finite element analysis software ANSYS, under different parameters, this paper will have a finite element analysis of bearing capacity on circular steel tube compile short column filled with steel reinforced concrete(STCSRC).In the paper,it uses separate models to calculate and analyze.Considering the nonlinear constitutive relation of steel and concrete and determining the type of unit,it is shown that stress distribution and load-displacement curve of specimen under the effect of different parameters.According to the curve and data,analysis results of bearing capacity of specimen have been shown that bearing capacity of STCSRC will increase with concrete strength increasing and it also will increase with steel rate increasing under axial load.Because of core concrete working together with steel tube and angle steel,it can significantly improve the bearing capacity of composite columns, slow down and inhibit shearing inclined cracks occur in the core concrete and develop,and improve the ductility of columns.

Non-linear finite element model of prestressed steel reinforced concrete(PSRC) beams were carried out by using software ABAQUS. The effects of the parameters of non-prestressed reinforcement ratio, prestressed reinforcement ratio, effective prestressed force and non-prestressed tendons yield strength on the ultimate strength and ductility of PSRC beam were investigated. It is found that increase of the tension reinforcement ratio has little impact on the ultimate deflection but can improve the ultimate capacity of PSRC beam. Increase of the prestressed steel ratio can significantly improve the cracking load, stiffness and ultimate capacity of PSRC beam. The effective prestressed force can improve the bearing capacity of PSRC beam.

Suction foundations are widely used in deep sea and their ultimate bearing capacity which is closely related with failure modes of suction anchor at limit equilibrium state is a key technology in offshore engineering practice. Based on Coulomb friction theory, an exact finite element model is presented in this paper. On the basis of this FEM model, by use of the finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the effect of mooring point and aspect ratio of a suction anchor on the ultimate bearing capacity and its stability are researched in detail. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity and stability of the suction anchor are affected vastly by the position of mooring point, and the variation of mooring point on the suction anchor can lead to different failure modes. Simultaneously, the results also shows that tilted rotation of the soil along the direction of the mooring force will occur when the mooring point is near the top of the suction anchor, and the soil near the bottom of the fixed anchor rotates around the center of a circle, so the failure mode is called forward-tilted rotation in this paper; A general translation slip of the soil in front of the anchor along the direction of the mooring force will occur when mooring point is below midpoint of suction anchor, so the failure mode is called the translation slip failure mode in this paper. Anticlockwise tilted rotation of the soil along the direction of mooting force will occur when the mooring point is near the bottom of the anchor, and the soil at the top of the anchor rotates around the center of a circle, so the failure mode is called backward-tilted rotation in this paper.

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model to confirm experimental tests carried out on steel reinforced concrete joints. The nonlinear behavior of this concrete is simulated, along with its reduced capability to resist large displacements in compression. The aim was to obtain the plastic behavior of reinforced concrete beams with a numerical model in the same way as obtained experimentally, in which the reduction of strength in the post-critical stage was considered to simulate behavior until structures collapsed. To do this, a nonlinear calculation was necessary to simulate the behavior of each material. Three numerical models provide a moment–curvature graph of the cross-section until collapse. Simulation of the structural elements is a powerful tool that avoids having to carry out expensive experimental tests. From the experimental results a finite element model is simulated for the non-linear analysis of steel reinforced concrete joints. It is possible to simulate the decreasing stress behavior of the concrete until reaching considerable displacement. A new procedure is discussed to capture the moment-curvature diagram. This diagram can be used in a simplified frame analysis, considering post-critical behavior for future research.

Nonlinear finite element analysis of twelve SRC (steel reinforced concrete) special-shaped columns using ANSYS programs was conducted and the mechanical behaviors of these columns were analyzed. A series of numerical simulation technologies such as defining the material model of the concrete /steel, establishing global finite element model with discrete reinforced bars/stirrups elements and the methods of post-processing of the results were investigated. A quick method of finite element model establishment was proposed to avoid unit not sharing nodes and grid division error during meshing, which would cause problems such as divergence of the model. The results indicate that the numerical simulation technology presented is feasible and can be applied to further research on mechanical behaviors of the SRC structures.
