It's effective further to use an easy modeling to reduce an numerical analysis cost. There are three kinds for the way to model a RC(Reinforced Concrete) pier by a FE(Finite Element) modeling, using a Solid element, Plane stress element and Beam element. Pushover analysis was executed to three kinds of modeling and a model was improved to raise the validity to the modeling.
