This paper summarizes the results of over 100 pure shear tests on reinforced concrete
panels. The ACI approach for predicting shear strength as the sum of a diagonal cracking …

Cracked reinforced concrete in compression has been observed to exhibit lower strength
and stiffness than uniaxially compressed concrete. The so-called compression softening …

This paper aims at the development of a computational model for analysis of RC membrane
elements subjected to general in-plane stresses. The response of RC elements is computed …

This study aims to investigate the capacity of different models to reproduce the nonlinear
behavior of reinforced concrete framed structures. To accomplish this goal, a combined …

Shear failure of reinforced concrete falls into the category of brittle and undesirable failure
modes and has caused catastrophic incidents in structures and infrastructures throughout …

A new model considering fixed and interlocked cracks for the analysis of reinforced concrete
(RC) cracked membrane elements is presented. The model can be regarded as an …

INTRODUCTION Elements of reinforced concrete offshore platforms have typically been
designed for shear and axial compression using design rules that were derived over 30 …

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to a complex combination of shear forces
(V), torsional moments (T), flexural moments (M) and axial loads (N). This paper proposes a …

Structural nonlinearity and stress-carrying mechanics of reinforced concrete are greatly
associated with local kinematics at crack planes and non-uniform stress fields in un-cracked …

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the structural behavior and cracking
response of reinforced concrete (RC) members on the basis of Rigid Block and Spring …
