The progress in computational modeling of the load-bearing behavior of concrete structures from the 1980s until today is reviewed by focussing on selected topics, in which the first author and former and present co-workers were involved. The topics include ultimate load FE-analyses of a prestressed shell structure, regularization techniques for the softening behavior of concrete and modeling of the time-dependent material behavior of shotcrete. Special attention is paid to the validation and application of the numerical models to projects in engineering practice.
