Concrete cracking in tension: The cracking of tensile concrete is usually modeled by either discrete or smeared crack approach in practical FE analyses. In the discrete crack approach, physical cracks are modeled as displacement discontinuities in a concrete con-tinuum. Although it allows the precise prediction of localized deformation at cracks,
The results show that reinforced concrete members can be broken effectively under multiple discharges, and the breaking effect of reinforced concrete columns can only be achieved by increasing the number of …

It is felt that this increases the risk of poor quality concrete pipes being used onsite, therefore a factor of safety of 1.50 is sometimes used for reinforced pipes. BS EN 97 advised a value of 1.25 for general use but a value of 1.5 for reinforced pipes with a 67% proof load, as shown in the below table.
Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) offers a new way to design reinforced concrete flexural members due to its superior mechanical properties as compared to conventional concrete.
