Virtual laboratory for reinforced concrete

Improving the design of reinforced concrete requires a good understanding of its failure process, which is complex because of the interplay of cracking and crushing of concrete, as well as yielding and rupture of steel. A virtual laboratory, in which computer models are used to simulate the failure process, plays an important role in elucidating the effects of material composition on structural response. In the first part of this lecture, I will present recent results on 3D modelling of the failure process of reinforcement detailing in structural concrete connections. In particular, the effect of steel fibres on the performance of connections will be discussed. In the second part of the lecture, I will focus on the development of computational cells for structural concrete components. I will present new techniques for applying periodic boundary conditions to cells, which are then used for the modelling of RVEs of Bernoulli beams and Kirchhoff-Love plates.
