Nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is characterized by numerous modeling options and input parameters. To accurately model the nonlinear RC behavior involving concrete cracking in tension and crushing in compression, practitioners make different choices regarding the critical modeling issues, …

An efficient model is needed, however, for the simple and accurate representation of the behavior up to failure. A macromodel that represents the behavior of reinforced concrete members that accounts for strength degradation due to bond slip and crushing of concrete is developed. The model consists of nonlinear springs connected …

The flexural capacity and ductility of an R-UHPC flexural member are strongly dependent on whether the failure is governed by concrete crushing or crack localization. As discussed in numerical analysis, the loss of the UHPC fiber-bridging resistance mechanism due to crack localization results in a reduction in the flexural resistance of …
