de Putter, Arjen (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Engen, Morten (author), van den Bos, Ab A. (author)Nineteen 2D nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) solution strategies were benchmarked against a wide variety of 101 experiments on reinforced concrete beams failing in bending, flexural shear, or shear compression. The relatively high number of solution strategies was motivated by the conviction that choices for the constitutive models,...journal article 2022

Engen, Morten (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Monti, Giorgio (author), Allaix, Diego L. (author)When non-linear finite element analyses are used in design of new or assessment of existing concrete structures, one should account for the modelling uncertainty before conclusions are drawn based on the results. The present article describes the basis for how this topic is treated in the draft of fib Model Code 2020. There are two components...journal article 2021

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

Engen, Morten (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Øverli, Jan Arve (author), Åldstedt, Erik (author)A fully triaxial material model for concrete was implemented in a commercial finite element code. The only required input parameter was the cylinder compressive strength. The material model was suitable for non-linear finite element analyses of large concrete structures. The importance of including a crack closure algorithm was demonstrated on a...conference paper 2016

Engen, M. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Overli, J.A. (author), Aldstedt, E. (author)Due to practical and economic reasons the design of complex concrete structures is often based on linear FEA with rather large elements. The inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete can lead to significant load redistributions which can only be predicted using non-linear FEA (NLFEA). This work aims at developing a method for performing large...conference paper 2014
