ANSYS Based Simulation of Reinforced Concrete (RC) Columns Under Axial

Abstract

Using the finite element analysis software ANSYS, researchers investigate the behavior of nine reinforced concrete special-shaped columns when they are exposed to collective effects of axial torque and force. Numerical model’s parameterswere established by performing a series of trial computations. The Impact that various measures regarding ratios of axial compression have over test specimen’s torsional capability are explored. Study outcome depicts that finite element model has a very small amount of prediction error, which suggests that this module is having capacity of producing precise simulations. However, there is space for improvement across whole angle curve of torque-torsion process analysis. Maximum torque and cracking of specialized -shape column of varioussection shaped and diameters rises in a linear fashion when ratio of axial compression is increased. If proportion were more comparatively to 0.6, columns’ capacity to sustain torsional stress will, however, begin to deteriorate. By increasing ratio of axial compression, procedure that begins with cracks and ends with maximum torque will be sped up.
