As engineers, it is our responsibility to translate real-world behaviour into simplified models. However, factors such as cracking, plastic redistribution, creep, and shrinkage can present challenges, often leading to oversimplifications and over-designed structures.
Join us for an industry briefing featuring a technical presentation on the new non-linear plastic material model for reinforced concrete in FEM-Design. This model aims to accurately simulate realistic behaviour, resulting in significantly increased load-bearing capacities in most cases. Consequently, this allows for more efficient utilisation of reinforced concrete and reduces CO2 emissions.
The industry briefing addresses common pitfalls and demonstrate techniques for modelling various scenarios, including global stability checks, load takedowns, and design calculations for concrete structures.
