This example problem is a load-limit analysis of a reinforced concrete slab. The problem uses a modified Drucker-Prager and a Menetrey-Willam material model to analyze the nonlinear plastic behavior of concrete. This example is simulated using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved with Ansys Mechanical APDL see Load-Limit Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Slab in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems. The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
