Constitutive relations of springs to model and simulate reinforced concrete frames

The study aims to propose with constitutive relations of springs that may be utilized in a model of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings using Rigid Body Spring - Discrete Element Method. An investigation of various failure mechanisms of RC beams and columns was done based from literature. The capacit...
