Since joining the faculty at Eastchester, I've taught nonlinear structural analysis many times. The course content is shaped by what I learned, and continue to learn, from Frank, Greg, Filip, and Silvia. The blog is another outcropping of what I've learned. So I've integrated many of the posts into the course, which consists of the … Continue reading Syllabus by Blogging

A Marathon, Not a Sprint
When tasked with developing an OpenSees model for simulating the nonlinear dynamic response of, let's say, a multi-story reinforced concrete frame, you may be tempted to go straight to force-based frame elements with fiber sections comprised of Concrete23 and Steel08 material models. This sprint to the finish line will undoubtedly lead to an analysis that … Continue reading A Marathon, Not a Sprint
