Modelling of nonlinear behaviour of reinforced concrete structures under strong earthquakes
Description
In the response analysis of a complete structure, reliable models for members and subassemblies are required. Series of large-scale reinforced concrete (R/C) cantilever beams and one bay-one story frames with lumped masses have been tested on the Earthquake Simulator of Institut fuer Massivbau - TH Darmstadt. The objective of this paper is to discuss the fundamental problems involved in the nonlinear behaviour of R/C members of simple structures when subjected to cyclic loading with high amplitudes. Some experimental research results gained during the evaluation of the tests and some features of an analytical model to consider the dynamic proporties of a R/C cantilever beam will be presented
