ST7-1.40.35.5 Reinforced Concrete Slab Ductility
Several methods to model reinforced concrete are discussed and compared using a typical 200 mm thick slab. The most detailed approach is to model the concrete with layers of brick elements and the reinforcing bars as beam elements embedded within. Other options include replacing the reinforcing beam elements with a smeared layer of plate mesh with equivalent cross-section area and/or replacing the concrete brick mesh with an equivalent plate mesh.
