Hi everyone

How can i modeling a shear joint (shear hinge) in reinforced concrete ?

I am using 2016 version of Seismostruct.

please help me.

A link-type element between two initially coincident nodes with the proper degree-of-freedom parameters set to your desired shear strength and stiffness should work. See the excellent details in the help system for more information.

It is always best to use the latest version as well.

Best of luck in your work.
