Modeling a RC beam with reinforcement curtailment

Post by naba077 »

Dear all,
Generally there is always reinforcement curtailment in beam/girder section (i.e fewer main bars in middle part). Here, I want to model those beams in OpenSees, how can I do it correctly? How much would be the error if I modeled it without curtailment?
Thanks in advance..
