Experimental Validation of Finite Element Models for Reinforced Concrete Beams with Discontinuities That Form Dowel-Type Joints

Earthquakes have the highest rate of mortality among the natural disasters and regularly lead to collapsed structures with people trapped inside them. When a reinforced concrete building collapses due to an earthquake, many of the concrete elements (i.e., beams and columns) are damaged and there are...
