Abstract

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame under earthquake loading is performed in this paper on the basis of a hysteretic moment-curvature relation. Unlike previous analytic moment-curvature relations which take into account the flexural deformation only with [...]

Abstract

Non-uniform cooling of steel cross-sections during the manufacturing process generates a state of residual stresses in the cross-section. Design codes describe the distribution of these stresses in different ways. This work aims to numerically investigate the influence of these [...]
