Finite Element Analysis of Geopolymer Concrete Bridge Piers under Cyclic Loading Using ABAQUS
USD 30–250
About the project
I am working on a project related to the seismic behavior of geopolymer concrete bridge piers with high-strength steel reinforcement. The experimental cyclic loading tests have already been completed. I need an experienced ABAQUS/FEM researcher to develop a detailed numerical model and validate it against experimental results. Required work: 1. Develop a 3D finite element model of a geopolymer concrete bridge pier in ABAQUS. 2. Define concrete material behavior using the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model. 3. Input experimentally obtained material properties: - Elastic modulus - Poisson's ratio - Compressive stress-strain relationship - Tensile stress-strain relationship - Damage parameters (dc and dt) 4. Model high-strength steel reinforcement and interaction with concrete. 5. Apply cyclic loading protocol similar to experimental testing. 6. Validate ABAQUS results with experimental hysteresis curves. 7. Perform analysis of: - Load-displacement response - Hysteresis behavior - Skeleton curve - Stiffness degradation - Energy dissipation - Damage evolution Deliverables: - Complete the ABAQUS CAE model file - Input (.inp) file - Simulation results - Comparison graphs between experimental and numerical results - Technical explanation suitable for a PhD thesis/research paper. Experience with seismic analysis, reinforced concrete structures, geopolymer concrete, and ABAQUS CDP modeling will be preferred.
