Cyclic pushover analysis of steel columns using rigid body spring-discrete element method

In order to provide plans for retrofitting and improvement of the design of steel structure, there is a need to develop an accurate model that can represent the behavior of steel structures against seismic loading. Columns, which are critical load-carrying members of structure, should be modeled fir...
