Rebar Stress and Strain

Post by Dehon Olivia »

Dear Seismosoft,

In my Static Pushover Analysis, I am trying to check the stress and strain at Selected Points, but it remains at zero. Stress and strain in my material are working well though.
My Selected Points are the rebars of my section.
Any idea how I could manage that?

Many thanks in advance,
Olivia

If the stresses and strains of the selected Stress Points are zero, it seems that the element remains unloaded.

Thank you for your answer.
However, the beam is loaded and I have stresses in the concrete, but it remains zero in the rebars.
Is it possible to have a problem with the definition of my selected points? Or the adherence between the materials?

Just for checking, try to use once the default steel material parameters.
What is the value of the fracure strain for steel? (the default is 10%) Can it be that you have strains larger than this?
