If Hinges Produces In model

Post by iamvishal1 »

I am doing incremental dynamic analysis, In Nonlinear analysis hinges are to be formed & showed in model but here The Hinges are not developed in Seismostrut model ? I am confused about How hinges acts or Developed in Seismostrut model in Nonlinear analysis. Can any suggestions with The developing hinges in model topic ??

The plastic hinge formation is shown in the code-based checks and performance criteria modules.
In SeismoStruct 2016, instead of the plastic hinges, the elements that have failed are graphically displayed.

How we can check the failed members of structure in Seismostuct 2016 ?? With color codes or Hinges

The Hinges are formed in all structure In beams .but in Seismostuct the Deformed shapes different colors are shown at base column and 1st story column and beam why should it not shown in all structure .

Could it be that you have not selected the beams to be checked for code-based checks and performance criteria? Alternatively, have you checked with hand calculations to make sure that the beams indeed fail?
Note finally that "the Hinges are formed in all structure In beams" only in structures designed with the capacity design philosophy.Not in all structures
