Computational platform for non‐linear analysis/ optimal design of reinforced concrete structures

S.M.R. Tabatabai, K.M. Mosalam

A system for optimum reinforcement design and non‐linear analysis of reinforced concrete structures is presented. The specially‐tailored program ORCHID (Optimum Reinforced…

Comparative crash simulations incorporating the results of sheet forming analyses

S.‐H. Lee, C.‐S. Han, S.‐I. Oh, P. Wriggers

To obtain more reliable crash simulations the history of the structure related to the forming process is considered. For this goal the variables defining the current state have to…

Tension stiffening model with increasing damage for reinforced concrete

M.H.F.M. Barros, R.A.F. Martins, C.C. Ferreira

A model for the analysis of plain and reinforced concrete structures is developed in the present work. In the plain concrete the localisation of the microcracking within a small…
