Abstract
This is the first part of a two-part series of papers in which the con stitutive material modelling of reinforced concrete, in shell structur es, which resist applied loads predominantly through membrane action, is presented. The material model includes the effects of tensile crack ing, tension stiffening, compression softening, interface shear transf er, and change in material stiffness due to crack rotation. A four-nod ed isoparametric curved shell element has been used in the nonlinear f inite element analysis. The results obtained by using the model for an alysis of a shear wall panel subjected to in-plane loading have been c ompared with those from experimental investigation.
