Abstract

At this document it is shown how a Quatric Function of Structural Model named Theodore, named by the middle name of the author and the data which are given from two published articles are compared for the accuracy of Ultimate strength of two beam specimens. It is a combination of classic reinforced concrete design with a displacement of nonlinear Dynamic solution. Firstly it is computed the axial strength N due to the longitudinal reinforcement based to Eurocode and then it is non-linear Dynamically optimized the initial value of external displacement, which will predict the specimens energy loss rate curve by changing the initial value to another since the axial N value which were computed later is placed in the field where the curve shows maximum Axial N the same as the computed one. Finally there are estimated damage & failure curves mechanisms for both articles and there are compared with the experimental values to the model values. The damage & failure curves mechanisms have very good quality compared with the real failure of the specimens of both articles. It is important to emphasize that the predicted displacements are almost equal to the experimentals
