Quantification of the resistance modeling uncertainty of 19 alternative 2D nonlinear finite element approaches benchmarked against 101 experiments on reinforced concrete beams

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,...

Reliability Analysis And Safety Assessments of Structural Wall with Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

Inclusion of safety formats method in nonlinear finite element analysis of a structure is beneficial to realize<br/>the safe and real behavior of structures. In addition, reliability analysis in combination with NLFEA results<br/>and safety assessments provide an insight into consistency of the safety assessments recommendations related<br/>to...
