Finite Element Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Slab-Column Connection using ABAQUS
Reinforced concrete flat slabs are used worldwide as a construction system in many multistory buildings. The problem that can occur in flat slabs is high stresses in the slab-column connection area that can result in a punching shear failure. Nonlinear Finite Element analyses can be performed in order to investigate the phenomenon of punching shear and to gain information on slab behavior. In this paper, a 3-D analysis of the reinforced concrete slab with the finite element software ABAQUS using the damage-plasticity model is presented. The choice of the adequate material model is important in finite element modeling for concrete structures. The simulations of the reinforced concrete slab are compared to the behavior of a specimen that has been tested at the University of Waterloo. This study involves the investigation on the punching shear behavior of reinforced concrete slab-column connections without shear reinforcement. The results of the FEA simulations indicate the reasonable response when compared to the behavior of the test specimen. The simulations give information on the punching shear capacity and the crack pattern.
