Comparison between Experiments and FEM Simulations of the Reinforced Concrete Structure under Shake Table Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the numerical simulation procedure of the reinforced concrete (RC) structure is purposed using SAP2000 software. The plastic hinge model (PHM) is using SWPH code. This PHM is to simulate the nonlinear responses of the RC structure under seismic. The numerical structural models are established using FEM models. The test specimen under shake table is two-span RC structure. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of RC structural model, comparisons between the experimental and numerical results are close. The proposed procedure can be used to simulate the nonlinear responses of RC structure under seismic.
