Topic: Punching reinforcement modeling
Hello,
What is the best way for modeling punching reinforcement in GiD? Especially these options I am interested in:
1) Peikko PSB double headed studs: https://www.peikko.com/products/product … formation/
2) Closed stirrups like these: https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1 … 23-gr1.jpg
3) One legged single ties, (c) on the picture from here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ma … ctions.png
I have only one idea to model it as a bar with fixed start and end with user defined bond law. Is this the correct approach? Is there any experimental validations of such problems in ATENA?
