Title

Sectional Analysis For Nonlinear System Identification Of Concrete Structures

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic methodology for identifying force-deformation parameters required by nonlinear programs for the analysis of concrete structures. It describes a sectional analysis technique based upon a fiber-element model for characterizing the cyclic moment-curvature hysteresis of reinforced concrete sections. The cyclic, degrading constitutive behavior of concrete and steel are taken into account and the analysis includes the effects of confinement, strain-hardening of steel and the cracking of concrete. The control parameters to define the hysteresis loops are identified graphically in this paper, however, the automation of this procedure is essential. A typical structural frame is analyzed to illustrate the utility of this method.
