Efficient approaches to finite element analysis in earthquake engineering
Résumé
This paper deals with the modeling of reinforced concrete structures subjected to earthquake ground motion. Due to
the complex behavior of both materials and structures, efficient numerical tools are developed herein in order to keep
accuracy and robustness for large scale computations. We focus our attention on the use of simplified multifiber beam
element describing the response of structural components and on macro-element accounting for soil–structure interaction
