Discrete models of solids have been motivated, in large part, by the discontinuous and
heterogeneous nature of material structure and its breakdown under loading. The …

This paper uses computational simulation to investigate the lateral load‐displacement
behavior and failure modes of a modern 14‐story reinforced concrete (RC) core wall …

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns of old existing buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes
because the hoops comprising their transverse reinforcement are widely spaced and …

The recent innovations of computational material models by machine learning (ML) methods
face formidable challenges. Incorporating internal heterogeneity and diverse boundary …

This paper presents a new modeling approach for masonry-infilled, reinforced concrete (RC)
frames, based on the nonlinear truss analogy. The unreinforced masonry infill walls are …

This paper uses nonlinear analysis to determine the impact of corrosion-induced damage on
the load-carrying capacity of prestressed concrete bridge girders. The analyses rely on two …

This paper presents an efficient beam-based modelling scheme for the seismic analysis of
reinforced concrete structural walls. The model combines a force-based beam element with …

Reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are commonly used to provide buildings with lateral
and torsional resistance against the actions of wind and earthquakes. In low-to-moderate …

This paper discusses the nonlinear dynamic seismic response of a 14‐story reinforced
concrete core wall building designed with the prescriptive requirements of the 2019 …

The strain adjustment for quasi-brittle materials to minimize the mesh size effect and
localization issues are investigated by the nonlinear lattice modelling approach for …
