Abstract:Annumerical study of RC columns subjected to variable axial load in conjunction with biaxial cyclic bending are presented in this article. The numerical models were built to simulate the response of all specimens using the computer program SeismoStruct and adopting three different modelling strategies, such as lumped plasticity and distributed plasticity (based in displacements and forces formulations) that were adopted in order to obtain the real behaviour of the RC columns. The efficiency of each modelling s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
