Abstract

This paper presents the prediction of 12 concrete beams proposed for the competition on Modelling of over-reinforced concrete beams. Two methods were used, both adapted to engineering pratice: a curvature integration method ( CIM) and a simplified finite element method (SFEM). The constitutive laws were identified on material tests and a stability approach was used to determine post~peak re- sponse.
