A 6-node triangular Reissner-Mindlin plate element with eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) formulation for yield line analyses is presented. The XFEM formulation with regularized enrichment is employed to reproduce a displacement field with a locally high gradient in the vicinity of a yield line...
