THE RESPONSE OF THE PLATE STRUCTURE TO THE CHANGE IN THE SHAPE OF FE AND THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL, CYPE/TOWER

Abstract

When analyzing structures, there are several different methods that are used. The method most often used in analysis is the finite element method. The finite element method was also used in the elaboration of the problem herein, and it is related to displacement in plate structures. Numerical models will be approximated by finite triangular elements in the CYPE program and by finite square elements in the TOWER 3D Model Builder program. In the end, a comparison will be made of the results and of the influence of the type and density of the finite element mesh as well as the quality of the concrete on the result of the analysis.
