Stiffness matrix for structural stability analyses on beam columns, frames, and arches.

The work presents the theoretical basis of Additional Finite Element Me-thod (AFEM), which is a variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for analy-sis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state.

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams presents advanced methods and techniques for the analysis of composite and FRP reinforced concrete beams.

This research investigated the behavior of nonseismically detailed reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints subjected to bidirectional lateral cyclic loading using nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA).

However, it is author’s opinion that there are relatively few efforts related to contact between structural elements, like beams, plates or shells. The purpose of this work is to fill this gap.
