Abstrakt: Recently, many literature studies have focused on the development on new elements in finite elements. This paper aims to develop a new quadrature for the 3-node triangular element for the purpose of evaluation of element stiffness matrix. The analysis of triangular element is usually done in a quadrilateral element by dividing the quadrilateral element into two. The edge sampling point quadrature is a mimics of Gauss numerical integration scheme. This sampling integration scheme consists of five sampling points and weights where four sampling points are at the edge and one at the center of the element. Accuracy of results, convergence of the results and stability of values have been tested using the standard benchmarked problems defined by various research studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
