This model demonstrates the application of member nonlinearities in a concrete shaft with a square layout. The analysis is conducted using RFEM 5, clearly illustrating the effect of slip on shear force transfer through dowels. The linked image provides a technical representation of the shaft, including geometric details of the dowel arrangement. The construction illustrates innovative approaches in considering nonlinearities in concrete components. The parameters concrete, shaft, dowels, shear force, and pin are precisely taken into account.
