FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE

CRACKING, CRUSHING, AND YIELDING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS IS INVESTIGATED BY THE FINITE ELEMENT TECHNIQUE. THREE-DIMENSIONAL, 20-NODE ISOPARAMETRIC ELEMENTS ARE USED. THE ANALYSIS INCORPORATES THE ELASTOPLASTIC BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE AND REINFORCING STEEL AND THE CRACKING OF CONCRETE STRESSED IN TENSION BEYOND A LIMITING TENSILE STRESS. SHEAR RETENTION IN THE CRACKING PLANE IS ALSO CONSIDERED. THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY THIS PROCEDURE COMPARE WELL WITH THOSE OBTAINED EXPERIMENTALLY AND ANALYTICALLY. /AUTHOR/
