A companion paper presents the formulation of a fibre beam‐column element for the non‐linear static and dynamic analysis of R/C frames. This paper illustrates the application of the proposed element in the simulation of the hysteretic behaviour of several R/C beam and column specimens. The specimens are subjected to uniaxial and biaxial loading histories with varying axial load. The proposed element shows computationally stable and robust numerical behaviour, while being able to describe very well the hysteretic behaviour of the reinforced concrete members under the imposed complex loading histories.
