SHEAR BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM USING NON-LINEAR FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION

This paper investigates shear behaviour of reinforced concrete using multi-surface plasticity model. analysis uses nonlinear finite element simulation 3D-NLFEA package. The experimental data adopted from the results test on eighteen beams where nine carried out by Bresler and Scordelis in 1963 similar Vecchio Shim 2004. constitutive model for material which used this is based plasticity-fracture considered tension stiffening effect concrete. result numerical latter compared with including load-deflection response, cracking pattern, failure mode. Based result, it was found that response shows slightly higher result. However, pattern mode beam good compliance test.
