Open AccessA comparative analysis of RCC and composite buildings using the new plastic deformation (PD) method
Low computational efficiency and non-linearity behaviour make the simulation of the overall building structure problematic to attain with a single dynamic or static method. Thus, this paper uses a plastic defo...
