Topic: modelling a GFRP bar RC beam

hello,

i have done modelling the GFRP bar RC beam, but unfortunetly i didn't get a good graph and can not validated same as my experiment. i also do the modelling RC by using steel bar, and i get the same trend as my experiment. i have compare my atena modelling with other finite element, but for my modelling GFRP bar RC beam, it not give a good trend, and the load smaller then experimental. what should i do? I have model GFRP bar same as i Model the Steel.  I pick Linear type for modelling GFRP bar in reinforcement material. tq

Re: modelling a GFRP bar RC beam

Dear asfeiza,
I assume you have already read ATENA Troubleshooting, 2.2.18 My analysis results do not match the experiment/expectations. How can I improve my model? 

If you wish help with your particular modelling, please follow Troubleshooting, 2.1.1 to send us your model, a graph comparing the measured and calculated Load-Displacement curves, etc.

Regards.
