Tall buildings by their nature are computationally intensive to analyze. They consist of thousands of degrees of freedom and when subjected to strong ground motion from a nearby source, exhibit inelastic response. Modeling this inelastic response requires an iterative approach t…

This study presents a new three-dimensional (3D) micromechanics-based nonlinear framework for the analysis of pultruded composite structures. The proposed material modeling framework is a nested micromechanical approach that explicitly recognizes the different composite systems …
