Whilst currently existing modeling approaches of reinforced concrete (RC) behavior allow a
reasonably accurate prediction of flexural response, the determination of its shear …

A three-dimensional nonlinear cyclic model for nonplanar reinforced concrete walls is
presented. Nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli fiber-section beam elements are used to represent …

This paper presents a novel macroelement for single vertical piles in sand developed within
the hypo-plasticity theory, where the incremental nonlinear constitutive equations are …

Various formulations of displacement-based Timoshenko multi-fiber beams are compared in
this article. After a short literature review, the presentation of the shape functions leading to …

The original model proposed present many advantages for applications which require
cracks opening and reclosure management. It is easy to implement in most of the finite …

This contribution deals with the modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the
context of progressive collapse simulations. One-dimensional nonlinear constitutive laws …

The severe damage and collapse of many reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings in the
recent earthquakes of Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) have shown that RC walls did …

This paper describes the simulation of RC members with a three-dimensional (3D), 2-node
beam finite element (FE) that includes warping of the cross section. A previously proposed …

Although core structures are often used in reinforced concrete buildings as members
providing lateral strength and stiffness, experimental and numerical studies on their inelastic …

Inelastic failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under seismic loadings can be due
either to loss of flexural, shear, or bond capacity. This paper describes the formulation of an …
