Time-dependent cracking and deformation in reinforced concrete structures – a numerical model
Abstract
In this paper, a non-linear finite element model for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures subject to time-dependent cracking under service loads is presented. The model accounts for the breakdown of bond and the slip that occurs between the concrete and the tensile reinforcement at and in the vicinity of each crack. The numerical results obtained from the model show a good agreement with experimental data.
