Abstract: The paper describes the results of application of a simple orthotropic constitutive relationship for concrete to the prediction of the behavior of shear panels and deep beams. The axes of orthotropy are assumed to coincide ...

Abstract: A simple constitutive model for ‘smeared cracking’ nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete structures is described. The model divides the uniaxial response curve for concrete into fivedamage regions, ...

Abstract: A general formulation for the elastic and inelastic nonlinear analyses of multistory frames is presented. The inelastic analysis includes the effects of residual stresses, strain hardening, gradual penetration of yield ...

Abstract: A number of techniques have been developed to compute the velocity distribution and, hence, the momentum and energy coefficients along a nonuniform open‐channel flow. Analysis of velocity distribution in the probability ...

Abstract: Initial imperfections have long been acknowledged as having an effect on the behavior of shell structures, affecting both the global and local behavior. Yet, despite their significance, initial ...

Abstract: This paper describes a technique of modeling concrete material properties for use in smeared cracking nonlinear finite element analysis of two‐dimensional reinforced concrete structures. The technique is applied to, and ...

Abstract: Full-scale laboratory tests on

Abstract: A recent review of available predictive critical buckling strain equations for segments of line pipe has shown that the equations give poor test-to-predicted ratios when validated using the more ...
