Question#4 (Finite element method)

Employ OpenSees to perform moment-curvature analysis for the strong axis of a reinforced

concrete (RC) section 400 × 600 mm reinforced with 8 rebars of 20 mm diameter (3 rebars on

each face). Assume fc = 35 MPa for core concrete and 30 MPa for concrete cover, fy (rebars) =

415 MPa, Es (rebars) = 200 GPa.
