A 3D Hypoelastic Model of RC Structure using lower order EAS elements

The book "A 3D Hypoelastic Model of RC Structure using lower order EAS elements" offers a comprehensive study on the hypoelastic modeling of reinforced concrete beams and frames, taking into account bonding and sliding effects. It details the constitutive model used as well as the analytical methods developed for the three-dimensional analysis of simply supported reinforced concrete beams and frames. The authors, Amiya K. Samanta and Somnath Ghosh, present an innovative approach that considers geometric and material nonlinearities. By employing 8-node isoparametric hexahedral elements, an improved assumed deformation formulation (EAS) is utilized to accurately predict the load-deformation relationships and internal stresses in both the elastic and nonlinear ranges. The book aims to significantly reduce the discrepancy between experimental and numerical results and provides valuable insights into the interactions between concrete and reinforcement.
