Collapse simulation of reinforced concrete natural draught cooling towers

Krätzig, W.B. / Zhuang, Y.

AbstractThe collapse behaviour of reinforced concrete natural draught cooling towers is numerically simulated under dead weight and quasistatic wind action. Nonlinear material behaviour of the structure is modelled within the elastoplastic fracturing theory for concrete taking elastoplastic actions of the reinforcement into account. The reported collapse simulations aim primarily at the evaluation of realistic safety factors within the framework of the Eurocode (1988) as well as the National German Standards-BTR (1990) and at the description of the crack evolution processes.
