Abstract: In this paper a total stress‐strain constitutive model is employed to simulate concrete response prior to cracking. A smeared crack approach is used to simulate the effect of cracking in concrete, and the model is capable ...

Abstract: A new postcracking formulation for concrete, along with both implicit and explicit layering procedures, is used in the analysis of reinforced-concrete (RC) flexural and torsional elements. The postcracking formulation ...
