Abstract: This two-part paper is an application of advanced nonlinear finite-element analyses (ANFEA) for the design or assessment of large concrete structures. It presents an innovative application of ANFEA that reveals many important ...

Abstract: This second-part article presents applications of advanced nonlinear finite-element analysis for the design of large reinforced-concrete structures. Because shear and the size effect are fundamental aspects of these ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology that uses advanced nonlinear finite-element analysis for determining a global resistance factor for the design of reinforced concrete structures. It introduces a new reliability approach ...
