摘要
This paper deals with some aspects related to three-dimensional numerical modelling of reinforced concrete structures using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Some subjects such as the solution technique of the non-linear equilibrium equations and the constitutive model for concrete and reinforcement steel are emphasised and commented. A robust method for the evaluation of the intersecting points of the embedded reinforcement bars into the three-dimensional finite element mesh is also presented. The main advantages of the Generalised Displacement Control Method with the Generalised Displacement Parameter to improve the response of the concrete and reinforced concrete analyses are highlighted. Finally, a series of numerical examples related to the above-mentioned aspects are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
