... and therefore the mesh has to be very fine, resulting in a refined time discretization. The purpose of this paper is to develop new ways for calculating the shaking of reinforced concrete structures following a commercial aircraft impact (see Figure 1). The cutoff frequency for this type of loading is typically...

...C Mang; L Jason; L Davenne Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new bond slip model for reinforced concrete structures. It consists in an interface element (3D) which represents the interface between concrete (modeled in 3D) and steel, modeled using 1D truss elements. Design...

...Nikolina Zivaljic; Hrvoje Smoljanovic; Zeljana Nikolic Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a new numerical model based on a combined finite-discrete element method, capable of predicting the behaviour of reinforced concrete structures under dynamic load up to failure. Design...
