Finite-Element Modelling of Structural Concrete (eBook, PDF)

Short-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a finite-element model of structural concrete under short-term loading. It outlines a finite-element method for the prediction of the strength, deformation, and cracking patterns of arbitrary structural concrete forms under a wide range of loading conditions. It also includes numerous examples that show both the unifying generality of this proposed approach and the reliability of the ensuing numerical procedure for which the sole input is the specified uniaxial cylinder compressive strength of concrete and the yield stress of the steel.
