A spring model for simulating the cracking process in RC members subjected to tensile actions

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Predicting the development of cracking processes in structural elements made of reinforced concrete (RC) or other cementitious composites is still a challenging task. Although well‐established experimental procedures are widely adopted with the aim to gain empirical knowledge of the aforementioned processes, no similar consensus has been ...
