Features: Book Introduction: "Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Structures" was written based on more than ten years of teaching experience and is one of the premium graduate textbooks at Tsinghua University. The book emphasizes both theoretical and practical aspects. It is divided into 10 chapters, systematically and thoroughly introducing the fundamental theories and methods of finite element analysis for reinforced concrete structures. Additionally, it covers some new numerical analysis methods and presents modeling techniques and analysis approaches for concrete elements. Specific topics include stress and strain analysis, failure criteria for concrete, constitutive relations of concrete materials, finite element models for reinforced concrete, fracture and damage of concrete, solution of nonlinear equations, and finite element models for bar systems. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in civil engineering and architecture, as well as a reference for researchers and technicians in the field of civil engineering and architecture.
