Hello everybady!
I am modeling the response of a R/C cantilever column to lateral loading.
The total lateral deformation of the column is composed of three components,namely,flexural,bar slip,and shear deformation. By using fiber section and BARSLIP Material I can caculate flexural an bar slip deformation.
I read the manual and find that Section Aggregator command can be used to take shear deformation into account .
The problem is :
1)How to define relationship between shear force and shear strain of a R/C section .
2) The advantage of the fiber section is that moment and axial force coupling can be taken into account. I think the shear force and shear strain relations of a section which will be aggregated to a existing fiber section is under constant axial force .Am I right. Is there any conflict if we put them together?????
[quote="silvia"]the shear is uncoupled.
how you create the shear stress/strain relationship is up to you.[/quote]
Thanks silvia.
I think it is shear force/strain but stress/strain relationship ,right?
Of course I can create the relationship myself.The problem is how to analyse the section to define the relationship.
Can you guide me??
