Abstract: The fiber beam element with shear modeling developed in the companion paper is calibrated and verified by comparison with test data. The verification is carried out for the material constitutive behavior and for single ...

Abstract: Since the smeared crack concept has proved to be very attractive when used in the finite-element fracture analysis, many different material models have been put forward. The majority of these models, usually known as a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new predictive formula for the shear capacity evaluation of reinforced concrete members subjected to combined axial, bending, and shear forces. The formula is based on a tensorial approach to concrete ...

Abstract: After a few years of successful application of the fiber beam element to the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, the introduction of the mechanisms of shear deformation and strength appears to be the next necessary ...
