Finite-Element Modelling of Structural ConcreteShort-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions\nAuthor(s): Michael D. Kotsovos\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138749269, 978-1138749269\nSynopsis\nA Powerful Tool for the Analysis and Design of Complex Structural Elements\n\nFinite-Element Modelling of Structural Concrete: Short-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions presents a finite-element model of structural concrete under short-term loading, covering the whole range of short-term loading conditions, from static (monotonic and cyclic) to dynamic (seismic and impact) cases. Experimental data on the behavior of concrete at both the material and structural levels reveal the unavoidable development of triaxial stress conditions prior to failure which dictate the collapse and ductility of structural concrete members. Moreover, and in contrast with generally accepted tenets, it can be shown that the post-peak .
