Applying Cyclic Seismic Loading to a Beam-Column Connection
Applying Cyclic Seismic Loading to a Beam-Column Connection
(OP)
All,
I'm working on my final masters project for school and I'm trying to perform cyclic seismic loading to a beam-column connection. The elements are a W36x150 beam and W14x257 column with continuity and doubler plates in the column panel zone. I have created my model using shell elements but I'm not understanding how to apply the cyclic loading to the end of the beam. I assume that this has to be done by using the amplitude toolset. Could anyone provide direction?
