USE OF ADDITIONAL FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
FOR NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF BAR SYSTEMS AT LIMIT STATES

A. Ermakova

Abstract

This paper considers some problems connected with description of limit states of the plane bar FE and special bar one for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures by means of developed AFEM. These problems are connecting with necessary of taking account of reinforcement and changing physical nonlinear properties of these FEs when this method is used.

Keywords: reinforced concrete structures; additional finite element method; limit state; reinforcement.
