Abstract

This paper develops a 3-node, 18-dof triangular layered plate element for the geometric and material nonlinear analysis of RC slabs at service loads. It combines a 9-dof triangular membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom and a refined, non-conforming 9-dof triangular plate bending element to account for membrane and flexural coupling. Two numerical examples illustrais the efficacy of this robust element.
