Three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete beams in torsion. Reinforced concrete members under torsion and bending are analysed up to failure. A non-linear concrete model for general states of stress including compressive strength degradation due to cracking is described.
This thesis describes a non-linear finite element model suitable for the analysis of reinforced concrete, or steel, structures under general three-dimensional states of loading. The 20 noded isoparametric brick element has been used to model the concrete and reinforcing bars are idealised as axi...
