Proceedings of the U.S.?Japan Seminar on Post-Peak Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Seismic Loads: Recent Advances and Challenges on Analysis and Design, held in Tokyo and Lake Yamanaka, Japan, October 25-29, 1999. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, U.S.A.; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science; Japan Concrete Institute. This collection presents the latest ideas and findings on the inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures from the analysis and design standpoints. These papers discuss state-of-the-art concrete material models and analysis methods that can be used to simulate and understand the inelastic behavior of RC structures, as well as design issues that can improve the seismic performance of these structures. Topics include modeling of concrete behavior; modeling of RC structures (finite element approach and macro-element approach); and experimental studies, analysis, and design issues.

This text provides a review of relevant knowledge in the area of constitutive modelling of concrete steel bonds and their interaction. It discusses the problems encountered in assembling the various elements with the purpose of constructing the model of an element made of reinforced concrete. Whether physically or empirically based, very simple or sophisticated, long-established or brand new, the models presented in this book are produced in as rational a framework as possible, and are accompanied by comments on their advantages and limitations.

Manual of numerical methods in concrete aims to present a unified approach for the available mathematical models of concrete, linking them to finite element analysis and to computer programs in which special provisions are made for concrete plasticity, cracking and crushing with and without concrete aggregate interlocking. Creep, temperature, and shrinkage formulations are included and geared to various concrete constitutive models.
