Topic: available concrete and steel models
Dear Borek,
Happy new year! Wish you with oofem be fruitful in the new year!
I attempt to analyze a cantilever reinforced concrete shear wall with I-section. One way is to use PlaneStress2d with LayeredCS. But I am not sure about the material models for concrete and steel. It is certain to use Concrete2. However, I have difficulty in understanding all the parameters. Please help. Regarding steel models, I do not know whether there are models in oofem which could include yield and harding of the steel. Steel1 is too simple to use.
Another question is related to Concrete3 and smeared rotating crack model. It seems these model could only model the concrete in tension well. To model the concrete in compression as elastic may not be enough. Is there any way to model the concrete in compression more accurately?
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Xuejian
