Example 2c. Nonlinear Cantilever Column: Inelastic Uniaxial Materials in Fiber Section

In this example, the Uniaxial Section of Example 2b is replaced by a fiber section. Inelastic uniaxial materials are introduced in this example, which are assigned to each fiber, or patch of fibers, in the section.

a. Static Pushover

c. Dynamic EQ Ground Motion

In this example the axial and flexural behavior are coupled, a characteristic of the fiber section.

The nonlinear/inelastic behavior of a fiber section is defined by the stress-strain response of the uniaxial materials used to define it.

The response curves for this example (obtained from the recorders' files DFree.out RBase.out) are as follows:
