Abstract

Firstly, a discussion about the application of beam‐column (1D) and plane (2D) finite elements in the numerical analysis of the planar concrete frames is presented. Then, briefly are presented two numerical models for nonlinear static analysis of planar concrete frames, first based on beam‐column (1D) elements and second on plane (2D) finite elements, which can simulate their main nonlinear effects. The presented models are verified on two experimental test results. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental and the numerical results, which confirm the possibility of practical application of both presented numerical models. However, their further verifications are necessary.
