thermal gradient and stress in concrete
thermal gradient and stress in concrete
(OP)
Hi
I'm a future civil engineer and i'm working on a marine concrete structure (solide).
I'm looking for a good finite elements software that can give me stress du to the variation of température (gradient).
I found a good one but it gives me only température and i'm interested in stress.
If you have any idea, please saaaaaave me :)

You can do this in a spreadsheet.

I have to do with a solid of concrete, so i supposed that the gradient acts only on a depth of 80 centimetres and the concrete dilatation coefficient is about 10e-5.
But if it's possible i'm looking for a program that gives me the stress in every point (x,y,z)
this is the solid section and the variation of temperature :

I would suggest that you consider either writing your own program or using a spreadsheet to predict stresses at a point. You are combining two or three premises into one, so expect some difficulty.
