Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete shells and the compressive membrane action on bridge deck slabs by Beatriz da Costa Fernandes, Jordlly Reydson de Barros Silva, Bernardo Horowitz

“… Abstract There are reinforced concrete problems where it is essential to analyze the reinforcement stresses at the crack, such as verifying the Fatigue Limit State in bridge deck slabs and crack opening in water tanks. In view of this, this work presents a numerical model called Cracked Shell Model (CSM), which enables the determination of stresses in the orthogonal reinforcement of concrete shell elements. …”
