Reinforced concrete (RC) shear-dominant walls can fail suddenly at lower ductility levels, which can lead to catastrophic damage. Accurate modeling of shear-dominant RC walls is therefore essential. In this paper, fiber beam elements, which are proven to be computationally very efficient, were developed to model the behavior of thin-walled RC shear walls. Concrete and steel were considered as separate...
