System models and model-based engineering methods have the promise of transforming the way that industrial engineers interact with production and logistics systems. Model-based methods play a role in improving communication between stakeholders, interoperability between systems, automated access to consistent analysis models, and multi-disciplinary design methods for complex systems. However, there remains a need for a foundation for modeling these kinds of systems – a foundation that tailors methods and tools developed in other engineering domains to the unique concepts and semantics of production and logistics. This foundation is the topic of these models.

This paper presents a method to design membrane elements of concrete with orthogonal mesh of reinforcement which are subject to compressive stress. Design methods, in general, define how to quantify the reinforcement necessary to support the tension stress and verify if the compression in concrete is within the strength limit. In case the compression in membrane is excessive, it is possible to use reinforcements subject to compression. However, there is not much information in the literature about how to design reinforcement for these cases. For that, this paper presents a procedure which uses the model based on Baumann's [1] criteria. The strength limits used herein are those recommended by CEB [3], however, a model is proposed in which this limit varies according to the tensile strain which occur perpendicular to compression. This resistance model is based on concepts proposed by Vecchio e Collins [2].
