Comparison and convergence studies of nonlinear finite element beam-column models

Comparison and convergence studies are conducted with two non- linear finite element beam-column models. Both models admit physical and geometric nonlinearities. The models differ in their respective strain field representations. Model 2 permits a linear longitudinal and transverse strain variation...
