Project description
 

The project aims to achieve a reasoned calculation of non-linear and time-dependent effects in the design of reinforced concrete structures. The mathematical model is developed with a view to the implementation of accounting software based on finite linear static (rod or plate) elements. The mathematical model allows to model non-linear effects via stepwise variable stiffness.
