Cover Story: In this work, a novel 3D explicit discrete element formulation of reinforcement bars discretized through several rigid cylindrical segments is proposed, allowing the 3D reinforced particle model (3D-RPM) to be applied to reinforced concrete fracture studies, namely for shear failure. The 3D-RPM is evaluated using known three- and four-point bending tests on reinforced concrete beams without stirrups and known shear transfer tests due to dowel action. The 3D-RPM model is shown to reproduce the crack propagation and the load displacement response observed experimentally for different steel contents under three-point bending and shear and for different beam sizes under four-point bending. The importance of including a nonlinear reinforcement/particle interaction model is highlighted. View this paper
