Software Modelling of Composite Steel and Concrete Structures

Abstract:

The article deals with the modelling of composite structures by means of the ABAQUS software application. This numerical modelling is based on the results obtained from measurements on a series of experimental models. It defines the contacts between concrete, steel and concrete reinforcement. The required accuracy of theoretical solutions will be guaranteed by the appropriate depiction of contacts between different materials. Creating adequate procedures for the design of composite structures will be possible due to the application of established and well-proven theoretical models.
