I need to model a reinforced concrete beam subjected to 4 point bending. I also need to plot the load vs displacement at mid span and compare it with the experimental data. Bond between concrete and steel also needs to be modeled. It would be helpful if you could share some videos on how to learn this in Ansys APDL and also some resources from where I can learn the usage and description of commands.
Hello Trishika Reddy ,
You may google ANSYS tutorials or simply go to this link:

I hope it might be helpful to you.

Himanshi
You should go with Utube videos there are lot of videos are given. Then check a M. Tech thesis by ANTONY WOLANSKI on "flexural behaviour of Reinforced and prestressed concrete beams using finite element analysis". Here you will get more clarification of ansys apdl steps.
Hi Trishika Reddy ,
You need to make nodes, join them, give them properties of rebars, etc
This youtube video will help u.

Himanshi Dewangan thank you that was a good platform to understand certain commands.
Pandi Mani I saw a lot of YouTube videos but the videos related to RC beam I found were in Arabic. Can you share the links of any particular videos that are really good and show how to verify the results.
Sourangshu Ghosh Thank you. I will check. I do not know how to decide the values for properties of concrete like the shear co-efficients, crushing strength etc.
