Özet: Although experimental studies have proven as the most effective method, its high cost has provoked researchers to seek alternative approaches. The increase in computational power in the 21st century provides the opportunity to numerically model experimental studies with various programs. This study examines the comparison of force-based element and displacement-based element in columns using nonlinear fiber elements. Within the scope of the study, OpenSees program is employed for columns selected from the PEER (Structural Performance Database) site. Physical regularization technique is applied to the elements while considering the plastic hinge length of the columns. The aim is to compare the employment of the FB element and DB elements in RC columns in terms of number of elements and integration points, to simulate the global behavior of the columns numerically, and to optimize the parameters that affect the results.
