Synopsis:

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Composite and Reinforced Concrete Beams presents advanced methods and techniques for the analysis of composite and FRP reinforced concrete beams. The title introduces detailed numerical modeling methods and the modeling of the structural behavior of composite beams, including critical interfacial bond-slip behavior. It covers a new family of composite beam elements developed by the authors. Other sections cover nonlinear finite element analysis procedures and the numerical modeling techniques used in commercial finite element software that will be of particular interest to engineers and researchers executing numerical simulations.

About the Authors: Dr Xiaoshan Lin is a Lecturer in Civil and Infrastructure Engineering discipline in the School of Engineering at RMIT University in Australia. Dr Lin received her PhD degree in Civil Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 2012. Before joining RMIT in 2016, she had been working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at UNSW Canberra, University of Liverpool in the UK and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Dr Lin’s fields of expertise include finite element development for accurate and efficient numerical simulation, high performance reinforced concrete and composite materials, and structural analysis under extreme conditions. As an early-career researcher, Dr Lin has published her research works in more than 40 highly reputed international journals and conferences.
