Book Synopsis Additional Finite Element Method for Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures at Limit States by : Ermakova A.V.

Download or read book Additional Finite Element Method for Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures at Limit States written by Ermakova A.V.. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presents the theoretical basis of Additional Finite Element Method (AFEM), which is a variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state. AFEM adds to the traditional sequence of problem by FEM the units of the two well-known methods of the structural design: method of additional loads and limit state method. The problem is solved by introduction of ideal failure models and additional design diagrams formed from additional finite elements, where each AFE describes the limit state reached by the main element. The main relations defining the properties of AFEs as well as the examples of the use of Additional Finite Element Method for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state are given in the work too.
