Translations:Analysis of reinforced concrete with FEM/20/en

This is done with the method described here:. In essence it is a post processing routine for Calculix, which calculates the principal tensile stresses in the concrete from an elastic analysis and uses those to determine the minimum reinforcement in the three coordinate directions required to prevent failure. In the analysis it is assumed that the concrete material cannot carry tensile stresses, whereas the steel is utilized to its maximum capacity (i.e. reaches yield).
