The computer program IDARC 2D 2D was conceived as a platform for nonlinear structural analysis in which various aspects of concrete, steel and other materials behavior can be modeled, tested and improved upon. Program development and enhancements have been primarily to link experimental research and analytical developments.

The computer program IDARC 2D 2D was introduced in 1987 as a two-dimensional analysis program to study the non-linear response of multistory reinforced concrete buildings. The original program released included the following structural element types:

  1. Column Elements
  2. Beam Elements
  3. Shear Wall Elements
  4. Edge Column Elements
  5. Transverse Beam Elements

Column elements were modeled considering macromodels with inelastic flexural deformations, and elastic shear and axial deformations. Beam elements are modeled using a nonlinear flexural stiffness model with linear elastic shear deformations considered. Shear wall include inelastic shear and bending deformations, with an uncoupled elastic axial component. Edge column elements were introduced considering only inelastic axial deformations. Transverse beam elements, that have an effect on the rotational deformation of the shear walls or beams to which they are connected, are modeled using elastic linear and rotational springs.

One of the significant features incorporated in the program, to implement inelastic behavior in the macromodels, is the distributed plasticity model implemented with the flexibility matrix approach that replaced the commonly used hinge model developed for steel frames. The hinge model is not suitable for reinforced concrete elements since the inelastic deformation is distributed along the member rather than being concentrated at critical sections (Park et al., 1987). However for sake of compatibility with other program and to model plastic characteristics a concentrated plasticity model was  also developed.  To trace the hysteretic response of a section a three parameter model was developed. Through the combination of three basic parameters and a trilinear skeleton curve stiffness degradation, strength deterioration and pinching response can be modeled. Hysteresis models for tracing the cyclic dynamic behavior were developed. Two of the models, a polygonal model and a smooth model have various degrading features that occurr during reversible loading.

The original version of the program included the damage model developed by Park and Ang (1984) to provide a measure of the accumulated damage sustained by the components of the structure, by each story level, and the entire building. This damage index included the ratio of the maximum to ultimate deformations, as well as the ratio of the maximum hysteretic energy dissipated to the maximum monotonic energy, therefore capturing both components of damage.

The original release of the program consisted of three parts (Park et al., 1987):

Later versions of the program included:

Program Enhancements

For the new releases of the program, Version 5.0, a number of enhancements were made to the previous releases:
