Fiber Based Modeling Strategies of RC Columns

Although experimental studies have proven as the most effective method, its high cost has provoked researchers to seek alternative approaches. The increase in computational power 21st century provides opportunity numerically model with various programs. This study examines comparison of force-based element and displacement-based columns using nonlinear fiber elements. Within scope study, OpenSees program is employed for selected from PEER (Structural Performance Database) site. Physical regularization technique applied elements while considering plastic hinge length columns. aim compare employment FB DB RC terms number integration points, simulate global behavior numerically, optimize parameters that affect results.
