This paper gives an overview of the project, showing the test setup and the main results. To get realistic FEM-results, the material model for concrete (CDP — Concrete Damaged Plasticity model in ABAQUS) has to be modified. A short overview of the improved parameters is given. Finally the new insights in the load carrying behaviour of thrust rings are shown and the basics for a design model in practice are presented.
