The study of the seismic vulnerability of existing structures is an important issue. Many researches have been developed in order to investigate the structural behavior o [...]

To determine the seismic vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete structures, computations at the structural scale accounting for material non-linearities are needed [...]

A novel multi-fiber beam finite element formulation based on the Timoshenko model [1], [2] is proposed in this paper to simulate failure of reinforced concrete structural [...]

To assess the seismic vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete structures, a large number of degrees of freedom is involved. Consequently, efficient numerical tools [...]

A multi-fiber beam finite element based on the Timoshenko theory is proposed to simulate failure of reinforced concrete structural elements subjected to static or seismic [...]
