Hi
I am modeling a Beam-Colum joint in seismostruct which is later on tested and wrapped with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) for again retesting under same load conditions as shown in Figure ( click the link below)

OkeZ.. il search the ABAQUS and ANSYS for this..Many thanks for discussion and suggestions.

<t>I understand it Sir that the stress-Strain is some thing which is ususally input to most of the numerical simulation. But is there no way that we could do this on a Fininte Elelment software as well ??<br/>
Actually i have performed some testing of Cyllinder with and Without CFRP wraps on them ...

<r>Want to simulate the cylinder testing for determination of strength of cylindrical concrete specimens along with formation of Stress-strain curve.<br/>
I have modeled the specimen with dimensions as specifid by code now how to simulate the rate of loading on this cylinder to get the Stress-Strain ...

zsaeed, what type of FRP did you use in experiment? Was it unidirectional FRP with the fiber perpendicular to column axis i.e., fibers in the circumferential direction)?<br/>
<br/>
If you used FRP with bidirectional or more direction fibers ...

If experimental results are reporting longer periods for the retrofitted condition compared to the original unwrapped column, then clearly there is something beyond simply the initial uncracked elastic period being reported. <br/>

Wrapping a ...

I calculated the the values of Mx, My, Mz and Mxx , Myy and Mzz for the above case as shown below in following picture. Is this approach right ?? although i am still far away from the time period calculated experimentally.<br/>

Mx, My and Mz are simply the lumped masses which you wish to be considered in each of the three orthogonal directions.<br/>
<br/>
Mxx, Myy, and Mzz are the rotary inertias about each of the respective axes.<br/>
<br/>
So if you have, in fact, used the ...

For more clarification of the problem i stated above, the following image shows Tabular results of Experimental time periods and also the one found using eigenvalue analysis in Seismostruct.<br/>
