Discrete element model for evaluating impact and impulsive response of reinforced concrete plates and shells

  • 1. Rio Grande do Sul Univ., Porto Alegre, RS (Brazil). Escola de Engenharia

Description

The application of a discrete element representation of solids to the analysis of reinforced concrete plates and shells is discussed. Yielding of steel as well as fracture of concrete are duly accounted for by means of constitutive criterion that quantifies coupling between both effects. Comparison with experimental results show excellent correlation. (author). 11 refs., 8 figs
