A new method for modelling reinforcement and bond in finite element analysis of reinforced concrete

In conventional finite element analysis of reinforced concrete the steel bars are normally assumed to lie along the concrete element edges and very often the bond gripping the steel to the concrete is assumed to be infinitely stiff. The first assumption makes it difficult to model all steel bars lea...
