Adaptive Crack Modeling with Interface Solid Elements for Plain and Fiber Reinforced Concrete Structures

The effective analysis of the nonlinear behavior of cement-based engineering structures not only demands physically-reliable models, but also computationally-efficient algorithms. Based on a continuum interface element formulation that is suitable to capture complex cracking phenomena in concrete ma...
