Simulation and Performance Models for Cyclic Degradation Effects in RC Bridge Columns This project will pursue the development, validation and calibration of phenomenological material models in the context of fiber-based nonlinear beam-column elements currently implemented in OpenSees. In particular, the project will focus on the development of a reinforcing steel material model that collectively incorporate the effects of observed phenomena such as bar buckling, cyclic degradation and low-cycle fatigue. A parallel objective is the implementation of damage modeling schemes for use in performance assessment of RC structures. While this effort will focus on material-based damage models, the overall development will facilitate the incorporation of a general class of damage measures for use in performance-based seismic assessment.
