Project Overview
In this Abaqus project, the behavior of a
Uboot roof under live and dead loads is
simulated and investigated.
The Uboot roof has a length and width of
13 m. The Uboot elements are arranged
next to one another at a specified distance to create
hollow cavities inside the concrete roof.
Uboot roof model developed in Abaqus.
Uboot Roof Configuration
In this model, the Uboot elements are positioned beside
one another at a certain distance. Two wire meshes are
then placed above and below the Uboot elements, and
concrete is finally poured around them.
The Uboot elements create hollow cavities inside the
concrete roof. This configuration reduces the amount of
concrete required and consequently decreases the weight
of the roof.

Concrete Material
The concrete material is defined using the
Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP)
model in Abaqus. This model is used to describe the
nonlinear behavior and damage of concrete under the
applied loads.
Reinforcement
The roof is reinforced using wire mesh positioned above
and below the Uboot elements. The reinforcement material
is defined as St-37.
Live and Dead Loads
A Static General analysis step is used
to investigate the structural response of the Uboot roof.
In this step, the live and dead loads acting on the roof
are applied to the model.

Analysis Results
The Abaqus analysis can be used to investigate the
structural response of the Uboot roof under the applied
loading conditions. The deformation and stress state of
the concrete and reinforcement can be evaluated from the
simulation results.
