Analysis of Creep Effects in a Concrete Beam Using Various Software

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with determination of the strain of the beam caused by the creep effect. Instant deflection and simulation of creep function have been examined by SCIA Engineer, ANSYS and Marc software. Creep is a complex phenomenon, which is in every software configured differently. Therefore we would like to compare results of calculations obtained using various finite element method software. With increasing time, the deformation of a beam becomes non-linear analysis. Analysis involved monitoring of deflection in the middle of the beam depending on the time. In SCIA Engineer construction stages were created with the creep factor based on period of load. In the ANSYS software different method was selected and creep curve of concrete had been defined.
