2514nk3504b	Juan Diego Pozo	Guidelines for Numerical Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Axial-Flexural Elements	2021		.txt	text/plain	287	5	-6	Results obtained in this dissertation include: 1) modeling recommendations to simulate the cyclic global lateral force-displacement (F-D) behavior of slender and squat RC walls, including a consistent mesh-sensitivity investigation; 2) a new metric to quantitatively evaluate simulated hysteretic F-D curves as compared with measured curves; 3) plastic hinge integration models that use material regularization (i.e., regularized plastic hinge models) to accurately simulate and obtain objective (i.e., mesh-independent) global and local (i.e., material strains and section curvatures) behaviors of slender planar RC walls and square columns; 4) a new confined concrete crushing energy equation for regularized constitutive models to simulate RC columns through failure; and 5) quantification of variability in simulated dynamic seismic performance of RC wall structures from different distributed plasticity models. In this dissertation, the capability of different distributed plasticity numerical models to simulate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) axial-flexural elements, namely planar walls and square columns, is evaluated based on previous experimental results of isolated wall and column test specimens as a well as a 7-story wall building subassembly.	cache/2514nk3504b.txt	txt/2514nk3504b.txt
