Abstract
Several approaches are investigated to model interior reinforced concrete waffle-flat-plate-column connections. A model is proposed that provides very good results with reasonable low computational cost. The proposed model is validated with the experimental results obtained on a 3/5 [...]Abstract
If the stress intensity at a certain point of a structure made of ductile materials reaches the yield point, the structure does not necessarily fail or deform excessively. Instead, stress redistribution could take place and some further load increments could be supported. Thus, the [...]
