Computational Methods for Reinforced Concrete Structures 2014

This book explores the application of numerical methods to the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The complexities of cracking, bond behavior, and the non-linear, time-dependent stress-strain relationship of reinforced concrete elements cannot be accurately represented using linear elasticity theory alone. However, capturing these phenomena is essential for investigating both ultimate and serviceability limit states.

This book provides a practical overview of numerical methods, including the Finite Element Method (FEM). The key lies in understanding and accurately describing material behavior. The critical material properties of concrete and reinforcing steel, as well as their bond interaction, are explained. Building on these fundamentals, various structural elements are addressed, including bars, beams, truss models, plates, diaphragms, and shells. Prestressing, cracking, non-linear stress-strain behavior, creep, shrinkage, and temperature effects are all taken into account.

The most appropriate methods are derived for each type of structural element. Dynamic analyses and quasi-static short-term loads, as well as time-dependent processes like creep and shrinkage, are solved. The problems are illustrated with numerous examples. These are calculated using the ConFem software package, which is available under open-source conditions, along with the input data, at www.concrete-fem.com.

The author demonstrates the capabilities and limitations of numerical methods in structural analysis for simulating reinforced concrete structures. This book is intended for students, educators, and researchers, as well as structural engineers and checking engineers.
