Abstract
This paper describes the use of models of fracture-plastic materials for reinforced concrete in
numerical modelling of beams made from reinforced concrete. The purpose of the paper is to use of a model of
concrete for modelling of a behaviour of reinforced concrete beams which have been tested at the University of
Toronto within re-examination of classic concrete beam tests. The original tests were performed by Bresler-
Scordelis. A stochastic modelling based on LHS (Latin Hypercube Sampling) has been performed for the
reinforced concrete beam. An objective of the modelling is to evaluate the total bearing capacity of the
reinforced concrete beams depending on distribution of input data. The beams from the studied set have
longitudinal reinforcement only. The beams do not have any shear reinforcement. The software used for the
fracture-plastic model of the reinforced concrete is the ATENA.
