Computational experiment of reinforced concrete structural elements using damage mechanics
The finite element method (FEM) has been widely used to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) members and structures. However, the complex material properties of concrete and bond-slip behaviour of concrete-rebar interface and the difficulty in FEM modeling of the RC members with complicat...

| Summary: | The finite element method (FEM) has been widely used to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) members and structures. However, the complex material properties of concrete and bond-slip behaviour of concrete-rebar interface and the difficulty in FEM modeling of the RC members with complicated rebar arrangement are still the two main problems in the three-dimensional FEM analysis of RC members. |
