Abstract: An automatic procedure for spatial modeling and inclusion of straight segments of embedded reinforcement in a mesh of solid‐isoparametric elements representing concrete is presented. This procedure alleviates the laborious ...

Abstract: A triaxial constitutive model for finite-element (FE) analysis of preand postcracking behavior of concrete is presented. A five-parameter ultimate strength envelope is used in the stress space. For compression dominated ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) model for finite-element (FE) analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) based on smeared cracking approach is presented. The constitutive model for plain concrete has been presented and verified in a ...
