Non-Linear Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete

<p>This book describes the application of nonlinear static and dynamic analysis for the design, maintenance and seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The latest structural and RC constitutive modelling techniques are described in detail, with particular attention given to multi-dimensional cracking and damage assessment, and their practical applications for performance-based design. Other subjects covered include 2D/3D analysis techniques, bond and tension stiffness, shear transfer, compression and confinement. It can be used in conjunction with WCOMD and COM3 software <br><em>Nonlinear Mechanics of Reinforced Concrete</em> presents a practical methodology for structural engineers, graduate students and researchers concerned with the design and maintenance of concrete structures.</p> <p><strong>Part 1:</strong><strong>Analysis and Modeling of Reinforced Concrete</strong> 1.
