A Generalized Nonlinear Beam Element for Slender RC Members Using a Polygonization Section Approach—Part II: Verification of Analytical with Experimental Results
Source abstract
Abstract
The proposed mathematical model, described in detail in Part I of the present paper, aims to solve the common numerical problems that currently characterize classic fiber models when used with a moderate fiber grid for reasons of computational cost. To confirm these objectives, comparisons were made between analytical predictions of the model with experimental results of RC specimens and of a 2D scaled frame for a wide range of parameters that mainly concern slender specimens without significant influence of the bond slip phenomenon, different types of cross section shapes, and various loading histories. The agreement between analytical to experimental results was found to range from very good to excellent in some cases.
