observed are 3.6% and +0.4%, respectively, in comparison to the experimental
tests. In the case II, in which the structure is considered as a simple clamped-clamped
frame, the proposed nonlinear model was capable to achieve good agreement to
experimental results, especially for ultimate load.
Therefore, based on the results presented in this application, the proposed non-
linear FEM model was validated considering numerical and experimental results
available in literature. Then, the frame considered in this application can now be ana-
lyzed including the effects of chloride penetration and reinforcements corrosion.
