报告摘要：Reinforcedconcrete (RC) shell structures have been widely used in a variety of modernengineering applications. It is found from the earthquake reconnaissance thatthe RC shell structures, such as nuclear containments, cooling towers and shearwalls are the key elements to resist earthquake disturbances. This researchpresents the development of a finite element analysis (FEA) program to predictthe inelastic behavior of RC shell structures. In the program, a new shellelement, so-called CSMM-based shell element, was developed based on theformulation of the degenerated shell theory with layered approach and takinginto account the Cyclic Softened Membrane Model developed at the University ofHouston. Then it was implemented into a finite element program developmentframework, OpenSees, which was developed at University of California, Berkeley,to develop the FEA program. Several large-scale structural tests were used tovalidate the developed FEA program.
