Nonlinear fracture mechanics investigation on the ductility of reinforced concrete beams
In the present paper, a numerical algorithm based on the finite element method is proposed for the prediction of the mechanical response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams under bending loading. The main novelty of such an approach is the introduction of the Overlapping Crack Model, based on nonlinea...
