Abstract:

In this study the potential of the development of cracks in the members of a reinforced concrete large panel structure is considered. The analysis is carried out using finite element modeling techniques. In the implementation of the nonlinear finite element analysis, multiaxial stress strain laws are used to describe fracture phenomena with proper allowance for complex loading and unloading cycles. In the present study the solution to such problems is achieved by means of a two dimensional quadrilateral element.
