Reinforced concrete belongs to one of the most important structural materials. The paper discusses modeling of steel reinforcement within non-linear finite element analysis. Selected models of reinforcement have been verified against numerical simulations and validated through experiments. Particular attention is paid to a reinforcement slip, for which a linearly elastic bond element is implemented in conjunction with elastic-plastic models for both reinforcement bars and concrete.
