A simplified shear model for reinforced concrete elements subjected to reverse lateral loadings
The response of reinforced concrete elements to earthquake loads can be controlled by bending or shear behaviour,
depending on the geometrical characteristics of the elements and on the reinforcement detailing. To represent the
shear behaviour, in elements where shear is not negligible, it was developed and implemented in the VisualANL
a non-linear shear model. Finally, in this paper are presented and discussed the results of a set of numerical
calibration analyses based on tests on full-scale frames
