Modèle de béton armé équivalent; Equivalent Reinforced Concrete model

Model inspired by lattice methods for the non-linear behavior of reinforced concrete, based on energy equivalence.

Macro-element; Macro-element

Element used to describe the coupled 2D or 3D nonlinear behavior in global variables (forces/displacements) of a system (e.g. soil/foundation, column/beam) based on the theory of plasticity or hypoplasticity.

Global models (or Stress – resultant models)

Models based on homogenization theory that give access to damage and/or cracking.

Poutre multifibre ; Multifiber beam

Finite element beam with digital discretization of the fiber cross-section, whose behavior can be modeled using different behavior laws....
