Analyze the Behaviour of Reinforced Geo-Polymer Concrete and Reinforced Concrete Beam with the Help of Ansys

Abstract

We aim to demonstrate the significance of finite element (FE) modeling in structural element
analysis, particularly in understanding the behavior of reinforced geo-polymer concrete beams
until failure. We emphasize the importance of utilizing realistic material properties in FE models
to accurately represent the behavior of the structure under various loading conditions.
Our study focuses on investigating the flexural strength, load-deflection characteristics, and
failure modes of reinforced geo-polymer concrete beams. By incorporating the actual material
properties into our FE model, we can simulate the behavior of the structure with high fidelity.
Through comprehensive analysis, we intend to provide detailed insights into the critical
distribution of stresses and effective strains within the members, including the steel reinforcement.
Understanding these factors is crucial for assessing the structural integrity and performance of the
beam under flexural loading.
The utilization of nonlinear models enabled by advanced computer software enhances the
accuracy of our simulations. Nonlinear modeling accounts for material nonlinearities, such as
stress-strain relationships, which are essential for accurately predicting the behavior of concrete
structures, especially under large deformations and failure conditions. In this paper we take M25
grade of reinforced concrete and geo polymer based reinforce concert and calculate shear force,
bending moment and deflection and we find geo polymer based concrete showing better result in
compare to RCC concrete by using ANSYS software.
