 Abstract

The application of non-linear finite element analysis is important nowadays to simulate the real behavior of structure. A sort of non-linear finite element analysis with and without safety formats referring to Model Code 2010 is applied in this thesis, to study the FEM simulation of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete structure. A case study is based on a tunnel segment experiment. Comparative analysis is performed to study how valid safety formats are in practice. In addition, the influence of fracture energy to shear capacity is also discussed applying different calculation methods stated in Model Code 1990 and Model Code 2010 respectively.
