Experimental Study on Seismic Behavior of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Torsion Beams with ABAQUS

Abstract:

The torsional capacity oftwo recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) beams with 100% recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) and two normal concrete beams subjected to monotonic torsion was investigatedby the finite element software ABAQUS, and the simulated results were comparedwith the experimental results. The investigation shows that recycled aggregateconcrete torsional members have good seismic behavior. The simulated resultsagree well with experimental ones. It can be reference for actual engineering.
