Thanks for the reply!
At first i had the same opinion with you! And it makes sense, because when you define hinge properties to an element, then its response will be inelastic. (Let's say flexural response) When the moments of an element surpass the yeild moment (until now we had elastic...
A theoretical question:
I am running a Non Linear static analysis of a concrete frame-wall building (dual system), that i designed and i want to see its response.
In order to get the correct response of the model, do i have to reduce the stiffness of the possible hinges locations? (beams and...
Thanks for the fast reply! I examined my model many times, and i found out that i had made an error during the input process of the model. My monumental mistake was that i didn't check out the mode shapes of the building after i completed the model! I would have realized that the 4rth floor was...
I want to run a nonlinear static analysis of a 7 floor building with frames and walls.
I found in this site that, in order to simulate the plastic hinge at the bottom of the wall, i have to assign the wall as a frame section. So the beam which is framing into the wall, has to be broken into...
I am trying to design a mixed building system (dual / frames-walls). I have to use the assumption that the yield curvature (?y) is effectivelly independant of strength, and hence the stiffness (EI) is directly proportional to the flexural strength (M).
So i want a relationship for the...
