Non-linear finite element analyses applicable for the design of large reinforced concrete structuresEngen, M (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Øverli, Jan Arve (author), Åldstedt, Erik (author)In order to make non-linear finite element analyses applicable during assessments of the ultimate load capacity or the structural reliability of large reinforced concrete structures, there is need for an efficient solution strategy with a low modelling uncertainty. A solution strategy comprises choices regarding force equilibrium, kinematic...journal article 2017
