STUDY OF CONCRETE FRACTURE SIMULATION USING ANSYS

Ma,Jor problem in concrete is fracture due to excess load acting on it or failure
due to tension or shear. This proJect focused on the computer simulation of concrete
fracture using ANSYS software. Though. ANSYS software helps simulate the
cracking and concrete fracture simulation in calculating the most important stress
intensitv factor using in-built crack analvsis engine. Using several perimeters and
different tvpe of load, se1eral tvpes of fracture will be getting. A concrete fracture
model is analped to find the precise results in order to simulate through this project
Finite-element Method is being used in this studies and Linear Elastic Fracture Model
is recognized to be the most efficient fracture model to be used in ANSYS. This study
of simulation will be beneficial to all in a 11 av to hm e better understanding of
concrete fracture occurrence and this is important in big construction companies
which use concrete as their core material construction ..
