Alexander Budarin

Dear Sir,

Please tell, which element type have you used for steel rebars?

Pandi Mani

link8 for rebar, solid 65 for concrete, solid 45 for steel plates

I suppose this example can help you:

Also, I advice you to check Drucker-Prager model + Solid185/186 for concrete (instead of the concrete + solid65) and reinf 264/265 for reinforcement (instead of link8).
