Abstract: Deformation and failure behavior of concrete is influenced by the characteristics of mortar‐aggregate interfaces. Recently, the interest in the study of the role of mortar‐aggregate interfaces in material behavior has ...

Abstract: Analytical models for the inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge piers under earthquake are presented. The models for material nonlinearity include tensile, compressive, and shear models ...

Abstract: Analytical models for the inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge piers under earthquake are presented in Part I of this two-part paper. Part II presents experimental verification and results ...
