Structures and Materials
Abstract
This paper presents a non-linear Timoshenko beam element with axial, bending, and shear force interaction for
nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The structural material tangent stiffness matrix, which relates the
increments of load to corresponding increments of displacement, is properly formulated. Appropriate simplified cyclic
uniaxial constitutive laws are developed for cracked concrete in compression and tension. The model also includes
the softening effect of the concrete due to lateral tensile strain. To establish the validity of the proposed model, cor-
relation studies with experimentally-tested concrete specimens have been conducted.
Keywords: combined loading, Timoshenko beam, R/C beams, uni-axial constitutive relations, tangent stiffness
