Hey folks

I'm after a tutorial (or even just some suggestions) to help with modelling a simply supported RC beam.
Main queries are:
Material properties? (primarily: Cracking, shear transfer of cracks, etc)
Suggested elements?
Should I use glue to simulate a "perfect" bond between concrete and steel? Is there a more realistic way to model the bonding?

Cheers
Brockie
