Abstract This paper presents a formulation of hypo-elasticity based RC beam model with bond-slip. Details of the constitutive model and analysis method used are provided. A procedure has been described to carry out three-dimensional analysis considering both geometrical as well as material nonlinearity for a simply supported RC beam employing finite element technique, which uses 8-noded isoparametric hexahedral element HCiS18. Enhanced assumed strain (EAS) formulation has been utilized to predict load-deformation and internal stresses both in the elastic as well as nonlinear regime. It models the composite behaviour of concrete and reinforcements in rigid /perfect bond More >
