Abstract

This paper aims at giving some insights within the pseudo-dynamics tests on reinforced con- crete structures. Nonlinear substructuring is used making benefits of simplified finite element analysis based on multifibers beams theory approach. Continuum damage mechanics is used for the modelled structure al- lowing creating a realistic dynamic environment for the tested substructure.
