This paper describes a computing portal called “Portal de Pórticos” that contain a finite element program for the dynamic, nonlinear analysis of framed reinforced concrete structures. The program is based on Lumped Damage Mechanics which describes the behaviour of this type of structure. To access the “Portal de Pórticos” it is only necessary to have a personal computer with Internet connection through a commercial browser (explorer, Mozilla firefox, etc). To show the accuracy in the results of the program Portal de Pórticos, some numerical simulations of experimental tests are presented.
