Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis on Steel Reinforced Concrete L-Shaped Short-Shear Wall

This paper uses ANSYS finite element program to do the nonlinear finite element analysis on steel reinforced concrete L-shaped short-shear walls. Through applying the vertical and horizontal load on the model, three typical stages of the whole working period are studied. And the cracking load and deformation regularity in various stages are obtained. The development process of cracks until the specimen damaged is revealed. At last, the development process of crack distribution at different stages is studied.
