Reinforced Concrete Models for Seismic Response
Reinforced concrete frames subjected to earthquake motions can exhibit considerable nonlinear behaviour. Cracking of the concrete, loss of concrete and bond slip are some of the factors which contribute to an overall loss of stiffness in the reinforced concrete members, and in some cases lead to total collapse of the structure. For analysis purposes, a simple elasto-plastic hysteresis rule is inadequate, especially for large amplitude responses. Some simple and complex models for the reinforced concrete members, incorporating hysteresis rules to account for the highly nonlinear behaviour have been developed. They enable the analyst to model more accurately the response of the frame to earthquake motions. In this paper we review some of the more recent developments in this field.
