Abstract:
      In this paper, a new method of nonlinear FEM is given. This method can be used to trace the crack propagation of concrete automaticly, and at the same time, the position and the width of concrete crack can be calculated. The method of this paper is of all the advantages of discrete cracking method and smeared cracking method. This method can be used for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete or plain concrete structure.
