Yield Line Analysis of Three-Side Supported Two-Way Reinforced Concrete Slab by Various Location of Concentrated loading

In this work, plastic analysis is performed using ANSYS on a variety of concrete reinforced slabs, with an emphasis on the distribution of stress, maximum moment, and deformation in each scenario. The main conclusions of this study provide insight into how these slabs behave under various loading scenarios. This study focuses on how various concrete slabs react differently to outside pressures. This performance disparity highlights how important it is to properly design and strengthen structures in order to reduce deformations and improve structural integrity. Additionally, by evaluating the results under every loading scenario, it is possible to determine which scenario is best for withstanding stress. The significance of structural factors in the design and upkeep of concrete reinforced slabs is emphasized by this result. The study also notes that ANSYS software’s accuracy in identifying fracture routes is limited. However, it highlights that a finer mesh leads to more accurate analysis and more realistic results, allowing yield line patterns in concrete slabs to be approximated closely. By providing insightful information to the field of structural engineering, this research helps to build strong and durable concrete structures.
