... phenomenon (Bažant et al., 1997). Nevertheless, viscoelastic models remain a well-accepted approximation for the simulation of creep, especially when there is no significant unloading taking place. creep fibre-reinforced concrete finite-element modelling meso-scale model Australian...

... walls reduces their ultimate load significantly, the proposed strengthening method was found to enhance their ultimate load. Linear and non-linear three-dimensional finite-element models (FEMs) were developed to simulate the performance of the tested specimens and the models were validated by comparing...

... developed, taking into account the heterogeneity in the temperature reached at young age and the probable lack of calibration data. cracks & cracking delayed ettringite formation finite-element modelling multiphase science structural analysis a N a , b N...

... and SST. Using Abaqus software, finite-element models were constructed to simulate the performance of the tested NCCBs. The accuracy of the finite-element modelling was confirmed by comparing the simulations with the experimental results. The validated model was used for a detailed parametric...

... for PCBs due to their unique behaviour. A method for identifying the maximum available MRP is proposed in this article. An in-depth study was conducted on the maximum available MRP of PCBs based on calibrated finite-element models. The results showed that parameters such as the passive reinforcement ratio...

... ⁡ C ), with temperature. The temperatures of all the nodes of the finite-element model are generated; they are subsequently averaged to give the temperature of the finite element. Given the incremental nature of the problem, heat transfer equations are solved based on an iterative algorithm. (b...

... lead to uneconomical and unrealistic design, while finite element models with 3D solid elements are too complicated and time-consuming for 3D beam–slab systems. To address these shortcomings, this paper aims to provide structural engineers with two simple but effective and reliable approaches...

... of the SSP, the ECC layer with or without deformed steel bars and three different strengthening techniques. The experimental results showed that hybrid ECC–SSP strengthening improved the ultimate capacity of the NC beams by as much as 156%. A three-dimensional finite-element model (FEM) was developed...
