Journal ArticleDOI
Regularised crack behaviour effects on continuum modelling of quasi-brittle materials under cyclic loading
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum model for quasi-brittle materials able to reproduce mechanical phenomena related to cyclic loading is proposed, which is validated by means of member-scale simulations of reversely loaded reinforced concrete shear walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward an integrated seismic risk assessment for nuclear safety improving current French methodologies through the SINAPS@ research project

TL;DR: The SINAPS@ project as mentioned in this paper aims at exploring uncertainties associated to databases, physical processes and methods used at each stage of seismic hazard, site effects, soil and structure interaction, structural and nuclear components vulnerability assessments, in a safety approach: the main objective is ultimately to identify the sources of potential seismic margins resulting from assumptions or when selecting the seismic design level or the design strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
SMART 2008: Shaking table tests on an asymmetrical reinforced concrete structure and seismic margins assessment
Benjamin Richard,Paolo Martinelli,François Voldoire,Mathieu Corus,Thierry Chaudat,Salim Abouri,Nicolas Bonfils +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the main findings of a series of shaking table tests on a 3-story ¼-scale reinforced concrete model characterized by strong asymmetry, representative of a nuclear building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lattice models applied to cyclic behavior description of quasi-brittle materials: Advantages of implicit integration.
TL;DR: In this article, an implicit quasi-static integration scheme for LDEM based on specific nonlinearities encountered in quasi-brittle materials, namely contact and fracture, is proposed to circumvent expected stability and accuracy issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-fiber approach for modeling corroded reinforced concrete structures
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-fiber-based model including the steel/concrete interface behavior is proposed to predict the structural response of RC structures taking into account the specific behavior of the steel and concrete interface.
