N2 - A displacement-based shear-flexible 4-node, 24-DOF rectangular layered plate element is formulated using updated Lagrangian approach in this paper for geometric and material nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete slabs under service loads. Shear deformation effects are included in the element due to the application of Mindlin-Reissner plate assumption, however, shear-locking problem is avoided naturally by employing the Timoshenko's beam functions for the deflection and rotation functions of the element. Geometric nonlinearity with large deformation but moderate rotation and material nonlinearity including tension, compression, concrete cracking and tension stiffening, have been accounted for in the nonlinear finite element analysis of RC slabs. The element is validated by the numerical analysis of reinforced concrete slabs.
