Does anyone use Perform-2D to perform nonlinear analysis?
I was wondering how can I model the pinching effect of a concrete beam in this program?
Thanks,
Hi,
When running a nonlinear dynamic analysis for a building, we must use a real earthquake acceleration time history. I was wondering should I scale the PGA of the real EQK to the design PGA I got from the UBC design spectrum?
Thanks
Hi, does anybody know thatif a RC SMRF desiged by ACI seismic porvisions, in gereral how many percentage of reinforecment of the total reinf. used in a whole RC SMRF will be the reinf. used in the beam-column joint?
How to calculate the percentage? by weight?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, all experts--
I'd like to ask do you know which commerical software could substitute DRAIN-2DX? In other word, it posses all the abilities of DRAIN-2DX which can do puch-over analisis, nonlinear dynamic analysis.....
Thanks
