In abaqus, I got same results for soil stabilized with concrete micropiles both with and without reinforcement. Also there is no variation in results when used different diameter lateral tie and longitudinal reinforcement.
Reinforcement was modelled using embedded elements
Dear Aswathy Mekkanakkil , it could be also a Problem of loading conditions (even ideal model vs. real world). Therefore it might be helpful if you could add some Graphs of figures that explains your model Setup and load conditions in more Detail.
Hi,
What parameters were you comparing between the different models?? It can happen that the difference in the parameters may be very small.
What was the type of loading??
Also do check that whether stresses or forces are generated on ur reinforcement
Dear Mekkanakkil,
1) Make sure that you are defining the correct section for you model.
2) if your load is not realistic or too high for a given stress strain curve and you are looking for strain. It could shows you unrealistic strain which might be same for both runs.
i advice you to review you model once again by looking at the input file or .py file there you can defferentiate between two runs accurately and easly!
hope this helps
Hi,
I have applied only the gravity load.
Soil slope was reinforced with a single row of reinforced concrete micropiles. Soil and micropiles were modelled with C3D8 elements and rebars and lateral ties were modelled using T3D2 elements.
Thank you
Hi,
How did u connect the truss element with the solid element??
Also see if there is any axial forces in the truss elements.
