In this paper, numerical analysis of wide beams was presented. The proposed models were loaded with a static seismic load. Diverse models of reinforced concrete wide beams were studied numerically by ANSYS platform, and a parametric study was conducted. The studied parameters were web reinforcement percentage, tensile reinforcement percentage, and compressive reinforcement percentage. The values of tensile reinforcement percentage were (1.5%, 1%, 0.7%, 0.3%) of cross-section area, compressive reinforcement percentage were (0.8,0.6,0.5,0.4) of the tensile reinforcement ratio and web reinforcement percentage were (0.13%, 0.067%). The influence of these parameters was studied on ductility, dissipation, toughness, stiffness and over strength. The results demonstrated that the studied parameters affected all these properties, and the smallest ductility was noticed in the wide beam (B7) which has a value of 1.1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
