Abstract

This paper outlines a standardised method of describing material properties for use in finite element modelling of steel and concrete. Factors which are essential to obtain solutions from the modelling method are quantified. Examples are given of their application to small material tests and simple components from the forthcoming analyses. Numerical analyses are carried out on steel material in both tension and bending. Further numerical tests are carried out to investigate the effect of the percentage of smeared material and aspect ratio of the element on the compressive properties of concrete.
