2D Idealisation of Hollow Reinforced Concrete Beams Subjected to Combined Torsion, Bending and Shear

This paper presents a finite element model for idealisation of reinforced concrete hollow beams using 2D plane elements. The method of ensuring compatibility between the plates using two-dimensional model to analyze this type of structures is discussed. Cross-sectional distortion was minimised by in...
