DIANA can be relied upon for the accurate analysis of damage development, and failure of reinforced concrete structures, when the different material characteristics of steel and concrete need to be considered precisely.
Sustainable analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures, in conjunction with the scarcity in material sources, forces engineers to optimize their design based on the ultimate strength of materials. High profile structures such as dams and nuclear facilities prioritize serviceability while infrastructure constructions such as bridges and high-rise buildings focus on architectural design within safety constraints. DIANA’s advanced features and analysis capabilities make it a powerful software solution for simulating all aspects of material models and various loading conditions.
Accurately analyze the damage development and failure of reinforced concrete structures considering the different material characteristics of steel (i.e. rebar, fiber). DIANA’s reinforced concrete models are based on the exact geometry definition of reinforcements and concrete. It facilitates the explicit description of material failure of the steel reinforcements, the concrete and the bond-slip connection between both.
With DIANA you can perform integral failure analyses of structures, taking into account construction phases and loading history, including heat loadings, stresses from the concrete hardening, soil-structure interaction, dynamic loadings and changing material behavior over time.
At material level, it is possible to consider the heterogeneity of concrete, as well as introducing fiber materials in order to simulate fiber reinforced material models.
