SSNP126 - Validation of the law of behavior
JOINT_BA (steel-concrete connection) in plane 2D




Summary:

Validation of the law of behavior JOINT_BA of the connection steel ­ concrete by using the element of gasket 2D
plan. This joined element is embedded in two nodes and bound to an element cubes with the characteristics of one
unspecified elastic material. By applying a monotonous loading in slip to the cubic element, one
check the degradation of the interface, as well as the passage of the small deformations at the beginning of the experiment,
with the great observable slips starting from the peak of the resistance of the connection. In this case test, them
parameters used do not correspond to the data of a particular experimental case. However,
validation is carried out by comparison with results obtained with code FEAP of Professor Taylor,
from Berkeley, software in which this formulation was established.

The mechanical loading is imposed in the form of displacements imposed on the right face of
cubic in increments of 0.01 *

1.4 Notice
·
The law of behavior of the element of gasket is given locally (reference mark (N, T)), calculations
system are carried out in the total reference mark (X, y). The basic change was taken in
count in calculations. The case test was developed with a rotation of 30° with an aim of
to validate this basic change.

Reference solution
It is about a comparison code-code. The reference used is code FEAP version 7.4 of
Professor R.L. Taylor, of the University of California, Berkeley. The results were obtained with
same geometrical and material parameters, as well as the same discretization in time.

Sizes tested and results
One tests the components yy and xy of the element which correspond to the components normal and
tangential of the local law of behavior in the interface, starting from the stress field
SIEF_ELGA as well as the value of the damage
T
D
(which corresponds to the second variable of
field VARI_ELGA). The values are tested at the point of Gauss 1 of the element gasket, with 4 pitches of
different times: at the beginning of loading, during the phase of growth of the damage,
after the peak of the maximum strength of the connection and to the end of the loading.

Summary of the results
The comparison of the results resulting from Code_Aster and those obtained numerically by code FEAP
of Professor Taylor of Berkeley are satisfactory (the maximum change is 2.18% on
stresses).
The objective of modeling is to test the stability of the law of behavior by using them
already existing elements joined in Code_Aster: one can consider that the establishment of the law is
correct. However, since the maximum resistance of the connection between the steel reinforcements
and the concrete is reached beyond the framework of the small deformations, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of
increments of time in particular when JOINT_BA is used in combination with other laws of
behavior nonlinear (law MAZARS, for example).
