Path-dependant Nonlinear Analysis of RC shell Structures using Volume Control Method
체적제어법을 이용한 철근콘크리트 쉘구조물의 경로의존 비선형 해석
Abstract
To overcome the drawbacks of conventional load control method and displacement control method, the so-called volume control method was developed by utilizing a pressure node added into a finite shell element. In this study, an improved volume control method which can analyze path-dependant behaviors of RC shell structures subjected to cyclic loading effectively is developed. RC shell structures are discretized with layered shell elements and in-plane two dimensional constitutive equations for concrete and reinforcements are implemented for each layer of the shell elements. Validity of the so-called path dependant volume control method is also verified by comparing analysis results with other data including experimental results.
