Abstract: Concrete plasticity models for the analysis of reinforced-concrete (RC) members in plane stress are studied. The proposed plasticity model for reinforced concrete provides a unified approach combining plasticity theory and ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete members sometimes experience brittle failures, characterized by a sudden decrease in load capacity. Such brittle failures include shear failure and flexural crushing failure without yielding of flexural ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical investigation is conducted regarding the behavior of Ontario‐type reinforced concrete bridge decks. A full‐scale bridge deck (both cast‐in‐place and precast), detailed in accordance with the ...
