Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures

On November 2-4, 2003, a group of international researchers convened in Makena, Maui, Hawaii to discuss recent developments in numerical modeling of concrete structures and identify research needs to enable accurate, robust, efficient simulation of the response of concrete structures under extreme loads. Participants included researchers from the United States, Japan, Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and The Netherlands. A broad range of topics was addressed, including the creation of new experimental data sets for use in developing, calibrating, and validating models; the development and validation of plain, reinforced, and fiber-reinforced concrete constitutive models; new approaches to simulating the response of reinforced concrete continua; new element formations to enable improved simulation of component response; and new computational techniques. These proceedings include many of the papers presented during the 3-day workshop and provide the reader with a basis for evaluating the major findings of the workshop.
