Abstract
The application of a discrete element representation of solids to the analysis of reinforced concrete plates and shells is discussed. Yieldi ng of steel as well as fracture of concrete are duly accounted for by means of constitutive criteria that quantifies coupling between both e ffects. Comparison with experimental results show excellent correlatio n. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
