			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi ErSultan,</p><p>1) It won&#039;t be &quot;more accurate&quot; to enter 7 points instead of 2 for FRP bars. I suppose that failure in you study should occur due to bond failure rather than bar rupture so 2 points would be more than enough.<br />2) 7 bars are accounted by effective area in the bar definition. There is area calculator where you define rebar size and number and then get area calculated.</p><p>Some other considerations:</p><p>3) In a lap-splice study the governing parameter is bond relationship. I hope you have some reliable bond functions for bars in use.<br />4) <a href="https://forums.cervenka.cz/profile.php?id=25681">Hasnat Ahmed</a> was working on a similar study as I remember. You can check his posts on this forum.<br />5) Example models that are installed along with the ATENA are very helpful. Please check them, you can find multiple examples of similar models.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Good evening Atena users, </p><p>I am simulating the&nbsp; four point bending test. <br />My topic is numerical investigation on the lap-splice length between Glass-Fiber-Polymer reinforcement and stainless steel reinforcement in concrete.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have three different lap splices.&nbsp; &nbsp;I need to define stress-strain relationship and bond strength-slip relationships&nbsp; for GFRP rebars. I have questions.&nbsp; <br />1). in Atena-GiD stress-strain relationship starts from 2 to 7 multilinear functions.&nbsp; As you know, GFRP shows almost linear relationship in tension test which has no yield strength. </p><p>So&nbsp; for Reinf 1 (yield strength ) which value should I enter? (I have tension test results).&nbsp; </p><p>Is it more accurate if I enter 7 multilinear function than 2 linear? </p><p>2). in 2D models, I am confused that I have 7 GFRP and 7 stainless steel rebars in tension zone. So How can I take into account this rebars in 2D?&nbsp; (If I enter 7 in the number of bars section under basics in GiD). </p><p>If anybody&nbsp; already simulated lap-splices before, please give me your e-mail or contact</p><p>Best regaards, <br />ErSultan</p>]]></content>
