Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams

The use of new materials in beam-like structural components has become increasingly common and has led to the development of composite beams. New materials and the interactions between different materials have made numerical modelling more complex. Advanced numerical modelling is one of the most powerful, effective and robust numerical analysis tools for composite structures. Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams presents advanced methods and techniques for the analysis of composite and FRP reinforced concrete beams. The title introduces detailed numerical modelling methods, and the modelling of the structural behaviour of composite beams, including critical interfacial bond-slip behaviour. It covers a new family of composite beam elements developed by the authors. The book covers nonlinear finite element analysis procedures, and the numerical modelling techniques used in commercial finite element software, of use to engineers and researchers executing numerical simulations.
