Comparative Study Of Young’s Modulus Of Elasticity For Plain Cement Concrete And Reinforced Cement Concrete By Using Abaqus Software

Abstract

The Modulus Of Elasticity Is The Most Important Parameter For Determining The Strain Behaviour Of Concrete And Also Shows The Effect Of Strength And Stiffness. Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Is Widely Used Construction Material Which Is Heterogeneous In Nature. Many Of The Standard Codes Considers Elasticity Of Concrete In Design And Analysis Of RCC Structure. Considering Only Elasticity Of Concrete In Design And Analysis Of RCC Structure Will Not Give The Exact Value Of Deformations Under Loading. Present Paper Is An Attempt To Study The Comparative Values Of PCC And RCC With Varying Percentage Of Steel. The Column Of Two Cross Sections 250 X 250 X 3000 And 350 X 350 X 3000 Is Considered With Varying Percentage Of Reinforcement Ranging From 0.72% To 2.01% For M20, M25 And M30 Grade Of Concrete. The Analysis Work Is Done With FEA Software ABAQUS.
