Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage

This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model with multiple-distributed flexural cracks is developed, in which the cracked regi...
