6. Validation

The model is validated by means of comparison on some experimental data on reinforced concrete structures. The first one is an alternate compressive-tensile test on a reinforced concrete member, see test-cases: SSNS112, [bib18]. The second one considers a reinforced concrete beam under monotonic bending, see test-cases: SSNL119, [bib19]. The third one considers a reinforced concrete shear wall, under alternate increasing shear loading cycles, see test-cases: SSNS113, [bib20].
