Abstract
This paper presents the procedures of constructing an ANSYS nonlinear finite element model for reinforced concrete beam analysis. This model was used to analyze reinforced concrete beams with and without openings. The results were compared with the experimental results of fullscale laboratory tests made experimentally. Beams strength, stiffness, deformed shape, and cracking patterns were investigated. The comparison between experimental and analytical results showed acceptable agreement.
