Two-scale finite element modelling of reinforced concrete structures: Effective response and subscale fracture development
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering"
DOI: 10.1002/nme.5776
Abstract: A two-scale model is derived from a fully resolved model where the response of concrete, steel reinforcement, and bond between them are considered. The pertinent “effective” large-scale problem is derived from selective homogenisation in terms… read more here.
