Hi, everybody.

I am Keat, from Malaysia. I am currently study in civil engineering and taking my final year project for degree graduation.

My thesis title given by supervisor is to use ANSYS to modelling a 3m X 1m C-Channel (a precast concrete slab system), to apply 2 million cyclic load (30kN) of line load to it, and then to study the deflection behavior.

After that i was request to perform lan experiment to use an actuator machine to carry out a test so that the ANSYS result can be verified.

I am struggling for around 3 month already, but still not yet any improvement. Due to lack of information in my university, and also lecture skill in this field.

The main problem I am facing now is how to perform bonding between the steel bar and concrete, since i only know how to sketch out the concrete slab and steel bar seperately in ANSYS.

And also is it possible to apply 2 Million cyclic load on the slab in ANSYS? I am currently using ANSYS v11.

Do teach me how to do it, I am very much appreciate, and I am hopping for anyone to guide me for the ANSYS usage.

Thank you very very much!
