Fig. 4From: Modelling of Stirrup Confinement Effects in RC Layered Beam Finite Elements Using a 3D Yield Criterion and Transversal Equilibrium ConstraintsFlowcharts of the solution algorithms used for a the black layerwise and b for the constant out-of-plane strain stirrup formulations with \(\{\tilde{\epsilon }_x^{\,i}\}\) and \(\{\tilde{\epsilon }_y^{\,i}\}\) the vector of axial and the in-plane transversal strains of the layers.Back to article page
