Extended Tension Chord Model for Boundary Elements of RC Walls Accounting for Anchorage Slip and Lap Splices Presence

Abstract This paper presents a mechanical model for the simulation of reinforced concrete (RC) wall boundary elements with lap splices, which builds on the tension chord model.The model is composed of an assembly of components, each one accounting for a different source of deformation.Namely: (i) an anchorage-slip Accessories element accounting for
