- Establishing the finite-element (FE) type for numerical modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) is fundamentally important in complex 3D simulations involving large deformation, damage and cracks. Significantly, this work predicts load-deflection behaviour and crack patterns are minimally influenced by the FE type used for concrete are notably affected for steel reinforcement when conducting geometrically-nonlinear analyses when studying the progressive collapse of RC structures. The work has led to an international collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), where Earij is to deliver an online course as part of the ASCE Continuing Education.
