ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR A REINFORCED CONCRETE PANEL ELEMENT SUBJECTED TO REVERSED CYCLIC IN-PLANE STRESSES

The aim of this study is to develop a constitutive law for a reinforced concrete panel element subjected to reversed cyclic in-plane stresses. The authors formulated the constitutive law for a reinforced concrete panel element by using the constitutive laws for cracked concrete and for reinforcement. These constitutive laws have been developed and verified with the reversed uniaxial testing of reinforced concrete elements. The proposed constitutive law for a reinforced concrete panel element have been verified with the experiments conducted by Ohmori et al. and Stevens et al.. The response of the reinforced concrete panel element subjected to reversed cyclic in-plane stresses can be predicted by the proposed analytical model.
