Abstract:Bearing strength of concrete is strongly related to contact behaviour when the loaded bearing plate penetrate over limited area of concrete surface. The model of concrete bearing was examined using the three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear explicit finite element micro-model in the ABAQUS/Explicit. The contact interaction between the concrete surface and the steel bearing plate was modelled using Surface to Surface (S-to-S) contact model. For material nonlinearity, the Concrete Damage Plasticity Material Model (CDP… Show more
