Abstract

This paper describes the extension of nonlinear adaptive analysis methods to 3D reinforced concrete (R/C) frames. An overview of the first two components of the proposed adaptive analysis method, namely the elastic and elasto-plastic beam-column formulations, is provided. This is followed be a discussion of the requirements of the automatic mesh refinement procedure, representing the third component of adaptive analysis, particularly with regard to its application to 3D reinforced concrete frames. An example of a 3D R/C frame subject to earthquake loading is finally presented, using the nonlinear analysis program ADAPTIC, which illustrates the accuracy and considerable computational savings achieved by the proposed adaptive analysis method.
