要旨 |
Application of a smeared, rotating-crack, hypo-elastic model for progressive failure analysis of reinforced concrete members subjected to lateral forces has been discussed. Two approaches have been applied: the first one, taking into account only the normal crack mode (basic model), and the second approach, based on the first one, however with included shear-slip mechanism along crack surfaces (integral model). Using originally developed software for non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete structures, as well as the characteristic specimens recommended by Japan Concrete Institute for model verification, a good agreement between analytical and experimental results kas been obtained.
