Shear failure of column
I am analyzing a 2D RC frame building in OpenSees (tcl). The members are force based nonlinear beam column element. The frame is subjected to a lateral load and columns are expected to fail in shear. The shear behavior is incorporated through section aggregator command. But how we will know that a column is failed in shear? Is there any specific warning which will appear, or we will get some kind of error?
