Abstract:
Nonlinear analysis methods for new and existing concrete buildings are constantly evolving. In this presentation, information will be provided about recent research to improve and validate nonlinear analysis methods for concrete structures subjected to extreme loads, such as earthquake loading. Nonlinear models available in both commercial and research software will be addressed. Results will be presented for model validations studies for beams, columns, and walls; results will be presented also for quasi-static and dynamic analysis of frame structures and walled buildings.
