Abstract: After a review of limit analysis and compression field approaches and a discussion of a recently developed tension chord model, this paper presents a new model for cracked, orthogonally reinforced concrete panels subjected ...

Abstract: A misnomer exists within the literature on the topic of ductility (deformation capacity) in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) members subjected to flexure. Several studies report that the addition of fibers to reinforced ...

Abstract: The deformations of Kirchhoff–Love plate elements are usually characterized by three components describing the strains in the middle plane and three components describing the bending of the plate element. It is shown that ...

Abstract: This paper presents the extension of the cracked membrane model, developed originally for predicting the behavior of conventionally reinforced concrete members subjected to in-plane loading, to include the effect of fiber ...

Abstract: The cracked membrane model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM-F), whose basic concepts were already outlined in this journal more than 20 years ago, is the most general approach for cracked reinforced concrete members ...
