This paper presents a general formulation for frame analysis based on 'lumped dissipation
models' and continuum damage mechanics. A particular model for RC frames based on this …

In this paper a refined fibre model is proposed for analysis of RC beams that include an
explicit formulation of bond–slip relationship. The model is introduced in a matrix formulation …

In a strong earthquake, an RC column develops plastic deformations in regions often
defined as plastic hinge regions. The formation of a plastic hinge in an RC column in these …

In a strong earthquake, a standard reinforced concrete (RC) column may develop plastic
deformations in regions often termed as plastic hinge regions. A plastic hinge is basically an …

In this work, we present a new finite element for (geometrically linear) Timoshenko beam
model for ultimate load computation of reinforced concrete frames. The proposed model …

Plastic hinges are an extension of the ductile design concept used in building seismically
resistant structures. The formation of a plastic hinge in an RC column in regions that …

A new formulation based on lumped plasticity and inelastic hinges is presented in this paper
for nonlinear analysis of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame structures. Inelastic hinge …

A nonlinear modeling approach was developed to capture the response of slab-column (SC)
frame members under combined gravity and lateral load demands. The occurrence of …

The paper develops a computer strategy for the analysis of cracked reinforced concrete
cross sections within the scope of Eurocode 2, using a symbolic algebraic manipulator. The …

During an earthquake, soils filter and send out the shaking to the building and
simultaneously it has the role of bearing the building vibrations and transmitting them back …
