Abstract
A new finite element layered model used for beam-column elements in co ncrete frame structures is developed. Using an automatic incremental/i teration process, the model can account for both geometric and materia l nonlinearity in concrete frame structures. The model is compared wit h independent experimental results, and a stable and reliable predicti on is obtained. The finite element method forms a basis for the effici ent analysis of large reinforced concrete frames.
