Methods to Reproduce In-Plane Deformability of Orthotropic Floors in the Finite Element Models of Buildings

In the modelling of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, the rigid diaphragm hypothesis to represent the in-plane behavior of floors was and still is very commonly adopted because of its simplicity and computational cheapness. However, since excessive floor in-plane deformability can cause a very dif...
