Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en" id="mawe201400225-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p xml:lang="en">The previously developed numerical model of the authors for the analysis of conventional reinforced and prestressed concrete shells under short‐term and long‐term loading was improved by including the effects of transverse shear stresses on the shell failure. The 9‐node degenerated shell element with the layered material model through the thickness of the shell was used. The reinforcement was modelled as a separate layer. To include the effect of transverse shear stresses on the shell failure, the failure criterion for concrete and longitudinal reinforcement was defined by a relation of transverse shear stresses and normal stresses in two mutually perpendicular vertical planes. The total transverse shear bearing capacity of the shell cross‐section is obtained by summing up the concrete and reinforcement contributions. The developed numerical model and appropriate software were verified based on experimental tests.</p> </abstract>
