Dear Silvia, dear all is there in Opensees a way to take into account shrinkage or thermal effects acting on composite sections?I am dealing with concrete slab on steel girders deck and i need to impose a deformation only to the slab. I suppose there is no way if a unique fibre element is used to mo...

Dear Silvia, in order to understand what fiber the section axial deformation is referred to i have applied a unit moment to a unsymmetric r.c. square section with the reinforcement placed only in the upper part. The section axial deformation resulted to be different from the axial deformation of the...

Dear Silvia, i am trying to model a twin girder bridge deck section using a fiber model. Do i need to define the concrete slab and the steel beams with respect to the center of the mass (which i don't exactly know) or can i define them with respect to a arbitrary reference system?I suppose the secon...

Hello, I am trying to do some time history analysis on a reinforced concrete bridge pier made of fiber section dispbeamcolumn elements at the base and elastic elements at the top and comparing the results with a pushover analysis. Applying at the top of the pier a force which grows in a linear manne...
