Abstract:
The objective of this session is to review best practices in checking, reviewing, calibrating, and verifying the results of a finite element model for concrete structures. This session will focus on proper interpretation of the FE analysis results and presentation of those results in terms commonly used by the engineering community. Attendees will learn techniques used to build their confidence in finite element models. The session is intended to provide an overview of some of the current strategies in the practice for sanity checks and reliability reviews used in structural assessment of concrete structures and foundations from conceptual engineering mechanics, benchmark studies, experiments, and theoretical values.
