Concrete Damage Plasticity Simulation of FRP-Confined Concrete Columns in Abaqus

 280.0

This tutorial package provides a comprehensive guide to simulating fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete columns using the Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model (CDPM) in Abaqus, based on a detailed finite element method (FEM) analysis from the associated research paper. The tutorial focuses on key modeling aspects such as material definition, boundary conditions, meshing, and the inclusion of a custom subroutine (USDFLD) for precise control of concrete behavior under confinement.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement a modified CDP model, which includes strain hardening and softening rules, and a new concrete dilation model calibrated for FRP-confined concrete. The package also explains the usage of the USDFLD subroutine to modify material properties dynamically during simulation, ensuring a more accurate representation of the concrete's behavior under triaxial stress states. By following the detailed steps in this tutorial, you will be able to create and analyze advanced FEM simulations in Abaqus with a focus on confined concrete.
