1. Introduction

The model presented in this document is a development of a model that is already effective in Code_Aster: RGI_BETON. This notice is therefore a follow-up to this one ([R7.01.30]) since only the development will be described here.

It makes it possible to consider reinforcements distributed within a concrete mass without differentiating their mesh. The behaviors of the two materials are evaluated independently and then homogenized in order to deduce the response of the reinforced concrete material.
