    Abstract: Significant progress in the finite-element (FE) modeling at the member-level of reinforced-concrete (RC) structures under seismic excitation has been achieved in the past decades; however, reliable and accurate analysis models for full-scale 3D system-level RC structures validated with experimental data are scarce. As the development of a complete ... Show More
