MODELING THE BEHAVIOR OF RC CONNECTIONS SUBJECT TO DYNAMIC HARMONIC EXCITATIONS

To study the response of reinforced concrete connections in dynamic harmonic analysis computing model with ANSYS software is modeling. Concrete slab is discretized by SOLID 65 finite element. Reinforcement bars is discretized by BEAM188 finite element. Interaction between RC and reinforcement bars is modeled. For the study of the dynamic response of the concrete connections under the influence of the time-varying loads used Transient or Time-history analysis.
