Comparison Between Non-linear Numerical Models for R.C. Shear Walls Under Cyclic Loading
The non-linear behaviour of concrete structures is the result of a series of phenomena, as material non-linear constitutive law and cracking process. As a consequence, in order to understand the behaviour of r...
