The aim of this work is to show the main differences which exist, taking in to account the influence of the type of finite element used, when performing pushover analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The non-linear analysis was performed using FE software SAP2000, and the results were extracted from models including Frame and Shell elements, respectively. Several reinforced concrete structures were modelled with Frame elements and Shell elements, which will be further presented. Therefore, it was possible to validate the results obtained from the analysis, also to identify certain restrictions according to the type of finite element used in the modelling of the resistant walls. In the first phase, three isolated structural walls were modelled with distinct geometries. The first one presents a rectangular shape, the second – “L” shape and the third one “U” shape. The application of pushover analysis through the different examples presented in this document, intends to validate the results obtained for the Shell elements. Subsequently, the same kind of analysis was performed on a building. These examples intend to show that the performance of ductility is strongly dependent from the type of element, which is not taken into account in the pushover analysis nowadays. N2 method was applied to all examples, in order to understand the differences in the structures seismic design, according to the type of element used in the modelling. The results are compared, and the differences are identified. As well as, the limitations of applicability of Shell elements in the modelling of structural walls were determined.

The article provides the results of studies the process of formation and development of plastic deformations in reinforced concrete structures with shear-wall under earthquake excitations. The studies are carried out by numerical methods using nonlinear dynamic analysis. The results of the research shown: that in the shear-wall elements of reinforced concrete structures the level of plastic deformations should be significantly reduced in relation to the normative level of plastics in other structural elements of the carrier system. The completed studies substantiated the introduction of differentiated values seismic-force-reduction factor for different types of structural elements on shear-walls reinforced concrete structures of earthquake-resistant buildings.
