Seismosoft | Earthquake Engineering Solutions

I plan to use Seismostruct in my studies. I would however like to verify results from Seismostruct with my own calculations/programming. My plan is to write a small application to verify results for a small example. For this purpose I have consulted literature and found the following:

F. F. Taucer, E. Spacone and F. C. Filippou, ‘A fiber beam-column element for seismic response analysis of reinforced concrete structures’, EERC Report 91/17, Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California, Berkeley, 1991. (Available from http://vlee.utpl.edu.ec/VLEE/LinkClick. ... 42&mid=520)

Since this was published in 1991 my question is simply if the fiber beam-column element discussed herein is still used in Seismostruct, or has significant progress been made so that Seismostruct's element is more advanced/better. If the latter is true, I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you very much

All of Seismostruct's underlying theory can be found in the publications indicated in the different chapters of the Help System, which we strongly suggest you to read.
