Nonetheless, the industry often struggles to adopt this valid option and nonlinear modeling strategies are currently rare, given its complexity. This Thesis is focused on the development of a Python-based library with simulation tools for steel, reinforced concrete and composite structures and on the proposition of a reinforced concrete and steel subassemblage model that captures the main failure modes of the real structure.Nonlinear ModelingLibraryRCS Composite JointDatasetOpenSeesPythonOpenSeesPyBearingPanel ShearElement ModelMaterial ModelFiber Sectionstudent work::master thesis
