Abstract: The nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete columns under biaxial excitation is complicated by a variety of factors. A finite‐element model is presented for the analysis of such members under generalized biaxial loading. ...

Abstract: The nonlinear cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete beam‐column members is complex and governed by a variety of interrelated physical phenomena. The ability of a refined uniaxial finite‐element model to simulate many of ...

Abstract: Finite‐element models of reinforced‐concrete beam‐columns often fail to behave in a stable manner near the point of maximum resistance. Simple numerical examples presented indicate that the conventional displacement ...
