Failure Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Shell Structures using Layered Shell Element with Pressure Node

Path-dependent failure analysis of RC shell structures using volume control technique

“…(8) and inserting an additional equation of Eq. (5) for the change in volume, the element equilibrium equation with matrix form is now given by Eq.…”

“…Crack spacing or density and diameter of reinforcing bars have negligible effect on spatially averaged stress-strain relation defined on RC in-plane control volume. Thus, the constitutive equations that satisfied uniqueness for compression, tension and shear of concrete and tension of reinforcing bar of RC with cracks could be obtained [6,8].…”

Inverse Force Estimation in a New Lab Simulation Approach for Vibration Prediction of Building-Mounted Small Wind Turbine

“…It has been said that FEA overestimates stiffness [12][13][14]. This error will cause an overestimation of natural frequency as √ ⁄ .…”

Seismic analysis of underground reinforced concrete structures considering elasto-plastic interface element with thickness

“…The constitutive model for the reinforcing bar inside concrete is modeled using bilinear average stress-strain formulation considering strain hardening. Kato's model for a bare bar under reversed cyclic loading and the assumption of a stress distribution denoted by a cosine curve are used for calculating the mechanical behavior of reinforcing bars in concrete under reversed cyclic loadings [10][11][12][13].…”
