Post-test seismic analysis of a prior 1990’s RC Column using the BTM-in-FEMultiPhys

This analysis was conducted by the Online School of Earthquake Resilient Design after completion and announcement of the results of the 2021 PEER blind prediction contest. Information about the BTM in FE-MultiPhys can be found here: One of the winners of the PEER’s blind prediction contest was Professor S. Girgin who used the nonlinear cyclic truss model of Moharrami et al. (2014). Moharrami M., Koutromanos I., Panagiotou M., and Girgin S. C.
