Reinforced Concrete Modeling
Abstract
Significant aspects of plain concrete behavior under large dynamic loading were identified and used to evaluate current concrete models. Since the endochronic and viscoplastic models provide satisfactory descriptions of many significant features of concrete behavior, they were chosen for detailed study. Both models compared well with existing experimental data. To illustrate that both models were operational and that numerical analyses could be performed, a preliminary finite element analysis was performed for a beam column with a monotonically increasing lateral displacement as a loading function. This fundamental work establishes the foundation for a development effort that addresses the problems of steel-concrete interaction, rate effects, and the analysis of reinforced concrete structures.
