Finite Element Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corroded Shear Reinforcement

This thesis presents a finite element (FE) modelling approach investigating the effects of corroded shear reinforcement on the capacity and behaviour of shear critical reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Shear reinforcement was modelled using a “locally smeared” approach, wherein the shear reinforcement...
