Abstract: A numerical model is proposed for reinforced-concrete behavior that combines some commonly accepted ideas for modeling plain concrete, reinforcement, and interaction behavior (e.g., due to bond) in a consistent manner. ...

Abstract: Discrete cracks have been modeled with interface elements in which the tractions are related to the relative displacements of the crack sides. Three stages in the cracking process can be distinguished: (1) The linear‐elastic ...
