Reliable quantification of joint flexibility of non-ductile RC frames is critical for seismic vulnerability assessment.The issue of super-element joint models causing numerical divergence in non-linear time history analysis of reinforced concrete frames is investigated.The rigid joint assumption and a single rotational spring model are implemented for Pet Loss Frame comparison.Reinforced concrete subassemblies and a one-third scaled frame have Other Blood Sugar Support Products been employed for validation.

Probabilistic seismic demand analysis indicates that super-element joint model may be less vulnerable relative to the single-component joint model.Furthermore, the shift in fragility function may lie in between the rigid joint and single-component joint modeling schemes, implying non-divergence.
