Finite Element Analysis of Geopolymer Concrete Bridge Piers under Cyclic Loading Using ABAQUS

I am working on a project related to the seismic behavior of geopolymer concrete bridge piers with high-strength steel reinforcement.

The experimental cyclic loading tests have already been completed. I need an experienced ABAQUS/FEM researcher to develop a detailed numerical model and validate it against experimental results.

Required work:

1. Develop a 3D finite element model of a geopolymer concrete bridge pier in ABAQUS.
2. Define concrete material behavior using the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model.
3. Input experimentally obtained material properties:
- Elastic modulus
- Poisson's ratio
- Compressive stress-strain relationship
- Tensile stress-strain relationship
- Damage parameters (dc and dt)
4. Model high-strength steel reinforcement and interaction with concrete.
5. Apply cyclic loading protocol similar to experimental testing.
6. Validate ABAQUS results with experimental hysteresis curves.
7. Perform analysis of:
- Load-displacement response
- Hysteresis behavior
- Skeleton curve
- Stiffness degradation
- Energy dissipation
- Damage evolution

Deliverables:
- Complete the ABAQUS CAE model file
- Input (.inp) file
- Simulation results
- Comparison graphs between experimental and numerical results
- Technical explanation suitable for a PhD thesis/research paper.

Experience with seismic analysis, reinforced concrete structures, geopolymer concrete, and ABAQUS CDP modeling will be preferred.
