Abstract: A finite-element model for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete flat plate structures is presented. A flexible layering scheme incorporating the transverse shear deformation is formulated in shell element environment. ...

Abstract: A nonlayered approach is proposed for the finite-element analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs to predict their strengths including the case of combined in-plane and transverse loading. The nonlayered form is derived ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) hypoelastic material model for modeling material properties of cracked reinforced concrete is proposed. Material properties of multidirectionally cracked reinforced concrete are represented by the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional damage model for concrete has been proposed in the preceding paper, Part I: Theory. This paper focuses on the application of the damage model for quasi-brittle materials such as concrete. The determination ...

Abstract: A damage model for concrete is proposed based on the existing displacement equivalence-based model for brittle materials. The model is established in a randomly selected coordinate system so as to consider the cases where ...
