I'm working in model consist of RC column subjected to lateral cyclic load in addition to constant axial load. in experimental paper rate of loading in lateral cyclic is 0.3 mm/second. and cyclic load protocol as shown in attached photo.
In my abaqus model I have been defined amplitude for lateral cyclic load as attached .xls file. and axial load as ramp with constant pressure. but I'm confused about my definition of this amplitude, because the results not logic the result load grater than experimental by 4 times and displacement is less than experimental
Your answer will be help and support for me.
Thank you in advance
