A new beam-column model for seismic analysis of RC frames – Part I: Model derivation

In this study, a reliable and computationally efficient beam-column model is proposed for seismic analysis of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames. The model is a simplified version of the Flexibility-Based Fiber Models (FBFMs), which rely on dividing the element length into small segments and dividing t...
