Numerical models of RC elements and their impacts on seismic performance assessment

X. Huang and O. Kwon

This research, conducted by Xu Huang and Oh-Sung Kwon, delves into the accuracy of five numerical models for assessing the seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames. By analyzing 320 experimental results, the study uncovers essential insights into model sensitivity and its impact on inelastic responses under earthquake conditions.
