Dear Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well.

I am trying to validate the RC bridge pier model subjected to reverse cyclic loading. However, the hysteretic curves of the predicted and experimental results have great variation. Could you please help me solve this problem? The model and figure that shows the hysteretic curves are available via the link provided below. I could not attach the files here.

Appreciate your time,
Kind regards,

The modelling seems correct. At first sight, there are not significant errors or mistakes in it.
Regarding the differences, we cannot check your model in detail against data for the specimen (it is something that needs to be checked by your good self and your supervisor), things to check are the material properties, the geometry and reinforcement and the axial loading
