Abstract
This paper deals with the elastic analysis of reinforced concrete beams with various cross-sectional types considering bond-slip of reinforcement and the effect of transverse shear deformation based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The effect of transverse shear deformation that beam can be evaluated by using the transverse shear strain energy that is calculated by the distributions of transverse shear stress along the cross section. In this paper, first, a potential energy functional is derived. Then, a finite element formulation of the problem is implemented. And in order to examine the use of presented procedure, some numerical examples are solved.
