When finite element nonlinear analysis is applied to address the typical engineering
problems such as ultimate load carrying capacity or serviceability limits such as deflections …

Concrete is the most common man-made material in today's world. Embedded steel
reinforcement may corrode due to chloride presence from de-icing salts or salt water, having …

The shear size effect refers to the phenomenon that the shear strength of reinforced concrete
(RC) beams decreases as the beam depth increases. The shear strength of RC deep beams …

In this study, compression tests of longitudinally cracked concrete were conducted to clarify
the effect of existing crack on reduction of compressive strength and compressive fracture …

Nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) is an important tool for solving deterministic
structural problems and predicting the behavior of concrete structures. Nevertheless …

This study focuses on the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) simple and continuous
deep beams. The experimental phenomena and nonlinear finite element analyses showed …

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the mechanism of shear strength reduction for
reinforced concrete deep beams with varying stirrup ratios, due to the beam size increase …

The paper describes the authors' contribution to the evolution of numerical simulation of
concrete structures based on the nonlinear finite element method. The formulation of …

Beam-column joints' behavior is a key research focus due to their critical role in maintaining
structural integrity and safety during earthquakes. While concentric joints have been …

Simulation models based on finite elements are currently indispensable tools for predicting
the structural behavior of both reinforced and pre-stressed concrete elements. This work …
