...Denise Ferreira; Jesús Bairán; Antonio Marí; Rui Faria Purpose – A nonlinear finite element (FE) beam-column model for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with due account of shear is presented in this paper. The model is an expansion of the traditional flexural fibre beam...

... for the efficient nonlinear analysis of large‐scale structural elements that can be considered as an assembly of membrane elements, such as bridge girders, shear walls, transfer beams or containment structures. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed constitutive model, the equilibrium equations...
