Numerical simulation of reinforced concrete structures under impact loading

Abstract: This study presents the performance of a combined finite‐discrete element method for prediction of the structural response of reinforced concrete beams under impact loading. A combination of finite and discrete element methods enables the modelling of the concrete and the reinforcement before the concrete cracking, as well as a discontinuous nature of the concrete caused by fracture and fragmentation under high impact loading. Discretization of the concrete with triangular finite elements is coupled with one‐d… Show more

“…Conventional continuum-based methods are not suitable for simulating the damaging process of concrete members. To solve this problem, different numerical approaches can be used like extended finite element method (XFEM) [16][17][18], combined finite-discrete element method [19][20][21], cracking element method [22][23][24][25][26], lattice spring models [27][28][29], and cracking particle methods [30][31][32][33]. With all the analysis of concrete members, there still exist some unignorable numerical problems such as numerical stability, mash bias and high computing efforts when dealing with concrete members reinforced by rebars and fibers when multiple macro and micro-crack will appear during damaging.…”

“…It was determined that the impact contact surface of the hemispherical unit created a more circular cracking area on the bottom face of the plate compared to the flat unit. Zivaljic, Nikolic and Munjiza [4] conducted a study that compared numerical modeling and experimental data. In the study, plates with 2000x2000x180 mm dimensions were used.…”

“…Conventional continuum‐based methods are not suitable for simulating the damaging process of concrete members. For solving this problem, different numerical approaches have been proposed in last decades such as the smeared crack approach, 13,14 gradient damage model, 15,16 higher order gradient theory, 17–22 phase field method, 23–25 extended finite element method (XFEM), 26–28 combined finite‐discrete element method, 29–31 cracking elements method, 32–36 lattice spring models, 37–39 and cracking particle methods 40–43 . Despite their successful applications in analysis of concrete members, there still exist some unignorable numerical problems such as mesh bias, numerical stability, and high computing efforts when dealing with concrete members reinforced by rebars and fibers where multiple macro and micro‐cracks will appear during damaging.…”
