Nonlinear Local Structural Model of Representative Strut of Dam in RFEM
Nonlinear local structural model in RFEM of the representative strut
The image shows the nonlinear local structural model in RFEM of a representative strut from the Escaba Dam in Argentina. This model is key to evaluating the element’s nonlinear response, identifying the stress distribution, the regions where the concrete’s tensile strength is exceeded, and the response of the reinforcement under different load conditions.
