In this study, the nonlinear static Pushover analyses of a reinforced concrete portal frame are obtained by using Fiber element method based on displacement. For calculating of cyclic behavior of concrete, the Mander-Priestley-Park model is used. Cyclic behavior of the reinforcement is obtained by using Mengotto-Pinto steel model. Different longitudinal reinforcement ratios are selected for investigating effect on the nonlinear behavior of a portal frame under horizontal forces. Concrete mean strength is 20 MPa and confinement factor is 1.2. The yield strength of reinforcement model is 420 MPa. Obtained results are evaluated with regard to the top displacement-base shear force and top rotation-base moment. The lateral load capacities and the overturning moment capacities obtained from 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th cases were calculated more between 81-200% and 101-286% than 1 st case, respectively. As a results, it is determined that the lateral load capacity and the overturning moment capacity increase depending on increasing of longitudinal reinforcement ratio in columns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
