Abstract
This research aims to use numerical methods to analyze concrete beams with different reinforcement ratios. Two software packages – ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy – were employed to achieve this task. Empirical stress–strain relationships were utilized to forecast the concrete’s stress–strain behavior. The numerical analysis results were compared with previously published experimental results, and the findings showed a reasonable similarity. The results were consistent with the published laboratory results, particularly for ultimate and yield loads, with no more than 10% differences. However, the ultimate deflection variation was higher. For the first control beam, denoted as B 2−12, ABAQUS predicted a 24.64% difference in ultimate deflection, while OpenSeesPy predicted a 35.83% difference for the second beam, sampled as B 2–16. However, the ultimate deflection for the remaining beams differed by less than 10%. Meanwhile, the difference in yield deflection was greater than in ultimate deflection, with OpenSeesPy showing a maximum difference of 18.51%. The maximum ductility was found to occur at a reinforcement ratio equal to 0.0016. Additionally, OpenSeesPy was faster than ABAQUS in computation while still producing satisfactory agreement with experimental results.
1 Introduction
Reinforced concrete is still the most used material in construction due to its advantages. During the design of concrete structures, the structural engineer should ensure that the structure has enough ductility to stay stable and in service after catastrophic natural disasters like earthquakes to prevent casualties. The ductility of the structures, whether element-based or structure-based, is crucial, especially when the structure is designed to resist the earthquake load [1,2,3]. In some cases, ductility surpasses strength in significance. Ductility is defined as the ability of structures to sustain significant deformation after yielding and absorbing significant energy [4,5]. Ductility is essential for fending off seismic load. The ductility of concrete structures depends on many factors, such as steel reinforcement ratio for tension and compression reinforcement, distribution of steel bars, confinement degree of concrete, bond between reinforcement steel bars and concrete, ultimate and yield strength of reinforcement steel bars, the compressive strength of concrete, and use of additional material like steel fiber or geopolymer ferrocement, which, in turn, increases the ductility of concrete [6,7,8,9,10,11].
While ductility allows for the designing of safer structures, it also introduces complexity to calculations and makes it challenging to determine the design values of internal forces, as demonstrated in the study by Pejvoic et al. [12]. The ductility of steel-reinforced elements is contingent upon several factors. Capacity design is crucial at a structural level as it seeks to prevent non-ductile failures, such as shear. In the seismic region, the design of structures must have a certain level of ductility to avoid fragile failure [13]. Figure 1 shows the difference between the ductile failure and the fragile failure. The ductility of beams is crucial in moment-resisting frames; therefore, ACI 318 imposes minimum steel reinforcement and at least two continuous steel bars in tension and compression to avoid brittle failure. The purpose of seismic detailing and capacity design principles is to guarantee ductile flexural yielding and prevent undesirable failure modes like shear and anchoring failures.

Comparison between the ductile and fragile behavior of the structure [13].
The precise study of reinforced concrete structures poses a challenging problem. Current approaches for predicting ultimate strength rely on either elastic theory or semi-empirical formulae. Both options are partially unacceptable. Finite-element numerical models are recognized for their ability to forecast a concise solution for the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures. Finite-element analysis is a numerical approach to analyzing various engineering problems [14]. The effectiveness of finite-element models is highly impacted by several factors, such as the type and number of elements, input information on material properties, and adapted boundary conditions [15]. The numerical technique allows for the resolution of a complicated problem with a large quantity of straightforward procedures. Numerical methods possess a notable edge over analytical approaches due to their straightforward implementation on contemporary computers and their capacity to swiftly generate solutions.
The primary goal of structural engineering is to ensure that the structure has enough strength and ductility to stay in service after yielding and cracking of the concrete elements, which can be provided by ensuring that the structural elements have enough ductility. So, the primary objective of this study is to numerically investigate and build a concise finite-element model for forecasting the ductility of reinforced concrete beams with different steel reinforcement ratios under monotonic loading conditions. Two different finite-element packages, ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy, were used to study the behavior of concrete beams and to conduct the goal of this study. Furthermore, OpenSeesPy has been used to perform a parametric study on concrete beams. Three cases were selected: (1) beams with tension reinforcement only, (2) beams with compression reinforcement equal to tension reinforcement, and (3) beams with different section dimensions.

2.1 Properties of materials and specimen configuration
Six simply supported beams were chosen from the experimental work of Mansor et al. [16] to examine the proposed finite-element model. Mansor et al. [16] did an experimental study on the effect of flexural reinforcement ratio on the behavior of concrete beams. Six beams with different longitudinal steel reinforcement ratios were studied in that study. The properties of steel reinforcement used in that study are presented in Table 1. The properties of the beams are presented in Table 2. The beams’ dimensions are shown in Figure 2. The beams were loaded using a two-point load, and the deflection was measured at the center of the beam.

3 Finite-element modeling
Two different programs, ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy, were used to analyze the chosen beams numerically. These models can confirm the theoretical calculations and provide a valuable supplement to laboratory investigations.
3.1 Modeling of reinforced concrete beams in ABAQUS
Three constitutive models have been implemented in ABAQUS to model concrete: (1) “Smeared crack concrete model,” (2) “Brittle crack concrete model,” and (3) “Concrete damaged plasticity model.” Each constitutive model has unique failure criteria. The smeared crack concrete model failure criteria depend on tensile cracking or compressive crushing. The brittle crack concrete model failure criteria depend on tensile cracking and do not depend on compressive failure. However, the concrete damaged plasticity model considers the degradation of the elastic stiffness induced by plastic straining in tension and compression [17] and also depends on tensile cracking and compressive crushing as failure criteria [18].
In this study, concrete has been modeled in ABAQUS using concrete damage plasticity. This model requires compression and tension behavior of concrete. In addition to plasticity parameters such as dilation angle, eccentricity, f bO/f cO, k, and viscosity parameters. Table 3 summarizes the concrete damage parameters.

Stress–strain model of concrete.
ABAQUS provides many elements with an appropriate integration system to model concrete behavior. C3D8R (an 8-node linear brick, reduced integration, hourglass control) element has been used for modeling concrete. The same element was used for plate meshing. The behavior of reinforcement bars inside the concrete beams can be represented using solid or truss elements. Truss element (T3D2 two-node 3D linear) was adopted in this study to avoid the high computation effort of the solid elements. The stress–strain relationship of steel material has been extracted from OpenSeesPy using the reinforcing steel model. This behavior is identical in compression and tension. The approximate global size of the elements was 30. Figure 4 shows the finite-element mesh of the B 2–16 specimen. The interaction between reinforcement and concrete was modeled using the embedded region interaction [22]. Embedded region interaction assumes complete bonding between steel bars and concrete. The interaction between the plate and concrete was modeled using general contact (Explicit) with hard contact normal behavior and a tangential friction coefficient equal to 0.3.

3.2 Modeling the concrete beams in OpenSeesPy
OpenSeesPy provides many concrete models. This program is a widely utilized finite-element software tool for dynamic and static structure analyses, encompassing soil–structure interaction. OpenSeesPy has been used to analyze both concrete and steel structures.
In this study, Concrete04 [23] has been utilized to model the concrete material in OpenSeesPy. The behavior of Concrete04 is illustrated in Figure 3, which represents the typical behavior of concrete. Concrete04 behavior is governed by mainly six parameters, which were concrete compressive strength (
Fiber section, Lobattointegration with ten integration points, and dispBeamColumn [23] have been used to model the concrete beam in OpenSeesPy, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. DispBeamColumn has the ability to consider the spreadness of plasticity along the length of the element. The fiber section assumes that the plane section remains plane after deformation. This section can capture the nonlinearity of the materials.

Reinforcing steel [23] was used to model reinforced steel bars in compression and tension. The behavior of reinforcement steel is shown in Figure 7. The behavior of reinforcement steel is governed by three primary parameters: yield strength (F y ), initial elastic tangent (E o), and strain-hardening ratio (b). A complete bond between steel bars and concrete is assumed.

Behavior of Steel02 [23].
A two-point load was applied on the top surface of the beam, and the deflection was measured at the mid-span of it. The flexural stress distribution of all beams at failure is shown in Figure 8 in order to investigate the crack distribution in the beams. The model is set to end when the concrete’s compression stress drops to zero, which indicates crushing in concrete. Also, the model ends when the tension steel strain reaches 0.05, indicating steel bar breakout.

4 Ductility factor
The ductility of structural elements can be determined based on various parameters, including deflection, curvature, and energy absorption. The ductility in this study was determined based on the deflection factor, as it is a more convenient metric to assess compared to other parameters. The ductility was determined by applying equation (4), which considers Δ max as the maximum deflection of the beam at the point of concrete failure or fracture of the reinforcement steel bars. The Δ yield represents the deflection at the beam’s center when yielding occurs.
5 Results and discussion
Figure 9, Table 4, Figures 10 and 11 illustrate a comparison of experimental data, OpenSeesPy, and ABAQUS results. The midspan deflection was measured, while the load was determined by doubling the support’s reaction. The comparison indicates a reasonable level of agreement between the methods mentioned above. The numerical findings indicate a greater degree of stiffness than the experimental data. This discrepancy can be attributed to the assumed full bond between the steel and concrete in the ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy models, resulting in a stiffness value that was overestimated compared to what was observed.

Comparison between ultimate load from Exp., ABAQUS, and OpenSeesPy.

Comparison between ultimate deflection from Exp., ABAQUS, and OpenSeesPy.
The ultimate and yield load predicted by ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy stayed within 10%. However, the maximum displacement for B 2−12 is less by 24.64% for ABAQUS and for B 2–16 is less by 35.83% for OpenSeesPy. The increase in load after 15 mm displacement is minimal, so the ultimate displacement can be considered 15 mm for B 2–16. The experimental results are shown in Figure 9. The maximum displacement for the rest of the beams predicted by ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy did not deviate by more than 10%. At the same time, the yield displacement has more deviation, with a maximum of 18.51%. The stress distribution over the cross-section in OpenSeesPy shows that the steel reinforcement did not yield in beams B 2–25 and B 3–25, as shown in Figure 8.
The fact that the stress–strain relationships for concrete and steel were used instead of experimentally testing the connection is one of the factors that may have contributed to the differences in the results. Additionally, the numerical model neglects the effects of concrete shrinkage and curing. In addition, since it is unrealistic, the proposed complete bond between the steel reinforcement bars and the surrounding concrete in the ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy models can lead to some inaccuracies. The authors of this research had noted the time disparity between ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy. On the same computer, ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy models were run; ABAQUS took roughly 7 hours, whereas OpenSeesPy took about 1 minute.
A correlation between the reinforcement ratio and ductility has been established in the present work, as illustrated in Figure 12. The results were developed using OpenSeesPy due to its superior speed compared to ABAQUS. This study aims to compare three cases involving the B 2−12 beam. The first case involves the B 2−12 beam, while the second pertains to the B 2−12 beam without compression reinforcement. Finally, the third case involves the B 2−12 beam with compression reinforcement equal to the tension reinforcement. The results suggest that the impact of compression reinforcement on ductility is limited to values after the maximum ductility, while the maximum ductility remains unaffected by compression reinforcement. The optimal level of ductility is achieved when the reinforcement ratio is equal to 0.0016. The study investigated the impact of alterations in section dimension on the ductility of a concrete beam with a fixed reinforcement ratio, as depicted in Figure 13. The study revealed that modifications in the beam’s dimensions do not impact the concrete beam’s ductility.

6 Conclusions
In this study, concrete beams with various reinforcement ratios were simulated using two finite-element software (ABAQUS and OpenSeesPy), and the results of each software were compared with experimental data. Both programs produced results with a respectable degree of accuracy compared with the experimental. OpenSeesPy, however, outperformed ABAQUS in terms of speed when running the models. OpenSeesPy has been used to perform a parametric study on concrete beams. Three cases were selected: (1) beams with tension reinforcement only, (2) with compression reinforcement equal to tension reinforcement, and (3) different beam section dimensions. The study’s authors came to the following conclusions:
Both finite-element programs agreed well with the experimental data, particularly for the ultimate and yield loads, which did not diverge by more than 10%. At the same time, the variation was larger but still acceptable for the yield and final deflection. Consequently, the suggested models can be used.
Both models can precisely forecast the load–deflection correlations of concrete beams with varying steel reinforcement ratios.
The empirical equations of the concrete stress–strain relationship can be used in the numerical finite-element models.
OpenSeesPy (open source) can be used to predict concrete beams ductility with reasonable confidence. And it is much faster than ABAQUS.
Maximum ductility occurs at a reinforcement ratio of 0.0016.
The compression reinforcement does not affect the maximum ductility. However, it only affects the ductility when the steel reinforcement ratio is higher than 0.0016.
The change in section dimension does not affect the ductility of the beam when the reinforcement ratio is fixed.
