FEM ANALYSIS OF RCC RING BEAM IN AN INTZE TANK REINFORCED BY FRP USING ANSYS 14.5

The mechanical behavior of composite concrete structures is difficult to analyze by an analytical model, as it becomes increasingly complex to consider the nonlinear behavior of the composite material. FE analysis is an efficient solution to overcome the problems. Repair and Rehabilitation engineering is a specialized field, which calls for skills and abilities beyond design and construction engineering. The systematic approach to deteriorate structure is necessary and there should be balance between technology management and economics. The first task when a structure shows sign of cracking, spalling or any other sign is to determine whether the damage is structural or non-structural. In this study test specimen of an Beam Section from Intze Tank Middle Section sized 1000mm x 600mm having overall length 14m of grade M-30 and Loading condition for Beam Section is 600 KN which is analysed in both conditions such as unreinforced means without FRP wrapping which is base model and reinforced means wrapped by FRP with different length is taken for Finite Element Method analysis for the investigation of deformation and stresses. Ansys software is used for finite element modelling. In this study unreinforced beam and beam reinforced with CFRP are compared on the basis of deformation and stresses. The analytical concrete Beam Section model was generated using FEM software program ANSYS 14.5. In ANSYS 14.5 software concrete Beam Section this is subjected to loading through vertical loading which is 600KN.
