Zero length section element-FBE

Post by abdallahmontaser »

Dear colleagues,
Iam trying to simulate RC shear wall behavior under cyclic loading using force based element, and section aggregator to include shear behavior. first, without including bond-slip action, results were reasonable but with less pinching compared to experimental results. When i used Bond Sp01 material and zero length section element, results get highly underestimated and odd in pinching behavior. I would be grateful if you could help me. This is my script:
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
#units N,mm
# Nodes Formation and Restrains
node 100 0 0
node 1 0 0
node 2 0 3660
fix 100 1 1 1

Re: Zero length section element-FBE (RC shear wall)

Post by selimgunay »

You may need to use an equaldof constraint for the lateral degree of freedom. To check whether the zerolength section does not result in any in compatibility issues in your current version, could you try defining your section as elastic with a large stiffness and compare it to the case without the zerolength section element?
