Non - linear analysis of reinforced concrete beam after crack treatment / Nazri Bin Abdul Wahab

Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam behaves non-linearly when tensile cracks start to appear. These cracks upon treatment had proven to provide the necessary residual strength for the beams to function continually. In this study, a non-linear finite element analysis will be adopted to seek the behaviour of RC beam after crack treatment using ANSYS S.O (Swanson Analysis System), which is a finite element analysis system. The beam will be modelled in threedimensional (3-D) using SOLID 65 element types. The post-cracking streqgm will be measured in terms of load-displacement and stress-strain relationship
