P-M (flexural) Strength Provisions P n - M n for! c =0.003 Fiber model or general wall model Actual cross section Concrete Fibers Steel Fibers! Typically use a more refined mesh where yielding is anticipated! However, in this case, where nonlinear shear behavior is anticipated, use enough elements to capture moment gradient.! Nonlinear backbone relations (force displacement) relations are commonly used to capture the shear behavior. 5
