Abstract: To investigate anchorage performance in a multidirectional arrangement of reinforcement bars, simulations are carried out using a three-dimensional discrete model, specifically the three-dimensional rigid-body-spring model ...

Abstract: Mesoscale constitutive models of frost-damaged concrete are developed in this study through numerical simulation using a two-dimensional rigid body spring model (RBSM). The aim of the simulation is to predict the macrobehavior ...

Abstract: This work was conducted first to devise an explicit equation for the ultimate strength of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams failing in diagonal tension caused by re-entrant corner cracks and second to gain insight into ...
