Thank you so much for your reply. Your blogs are really informative and helpful.
I understand that if I define an elastic section in which the shear modulus is given, then assign the section to a force-based beam-column element, the shear deformation will be accounted for.
My follow-up question is: what if I assign a fiber section? The corresponding code is:
Code: Select all
fiber(yloc, zloc, A, matTag)
How can I define the shear property to consider the shear deformation in this case?
