Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete plate and shell structures using 20-noded isoparametric brick elements

Abstract This paper describes an efficient and accurate, 3-D finite element model which may be adopted in the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concerete plate and shell structures. Benchmark tests are undertaken to check the computational model.
