Unable to capture strength degradation at large drift levels

Post by pkakoty »

I have been trying to calibrate material properties to develop models for non-ductile RC shear wall buildings using experimental data from a series of tests. These are non-ductile RC walls, with 200 mm thickness and a single layer of reinforcement. As we can expect, the walls exhibit rapid strength degradation and consequently fail at reasonable drifts (2-3%).

I am using a simple model with 1 force-based beam-column element with a fiber section to represent the configuration of the wall. Concrete02 and Steel02 material models are used to represent unconfined concrete and reinforcing steel respectively. 5 integration points are used along the height of the wall. Material regularization is accounted for in the material model parameters.

With these modeling assumptions, I am unable to capture the strength degradation at higher drifts. After initial rapid strength degradation post-peak, the wall model shows hardening behavior which is not expected. I am attaching my OpenSeePy code here, if you have any insights on what might be wrong with the model it'll be highly appreciated.

Have you tried to use more elements and finer fiber mesh?

By the way, what do you mean by "material regularization"? Could you please give more information on it? Thank you.
