Analysis and simulation of the hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete columns using multi-component rigid-body spring-discrete element method

The finite element method is the generally accepted method for linear elastic analysis of structures, but the required computational power for nonlinear analysis limits its applicability. Of the many developing methods for nonlinear analysis, the Rigid Body Spring - Discrete Element Method (RBS-DEM)...
