<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I have defined three pcs. beams or columns in the model with displacement based plastic hinge and the push over analysis were not succesful, later I changed the beams and columns to be only one psc. element and actually nothing changed. I have already send the model to ...

Hi Tim,

I am immediately sending it to you now
Just for now I am trying to perform push over analysis

Hello again,

I have just send you an e-mail regarding new arrival questions related with 6 storey RC building pushover analysis.

Aprriciate if you mind replying it

Thanks for your comments.

I think this much of convinient loops are enough and now I will pass to the real case which is 6 storey RC building.

Thanks for your supports...

<t>Dear Timothy,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for your commends,<br/>
<br/>
Actually the input data is the a artificial program which is adopted to a site specific code based elastic spectra by using the Oasis program from England. <br/>
<br/>
Regarding the beam actually the flexural behaviour is not dominant ...

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I passed through your suggestion, thanks for your attention again..<br/>
<br/>
Actually the most efficient proposal was to change the convergence tolerance to the 1.0E-5. Also I changed the solution time interval to 0.005 sec. The erratic behaviour mostly recovered however steel ...

Thanks alot to both of you,

I will strictly follow your suggestions and let you know the latest situation.

Thanks and best regards...
Hasan

Thank you for your comment,

I use dt/32 as oupt put, and 0.0001 as convergence displacement tolerans, What do you prefer it to be ?

Thank you for the reply

Shall I e-mail it to support@seismosoft.com ?

Actually the model is very simple one-bay (one storey: 5 m in lateral x 2.75 m in vertical joint to joint) two storey Reinforced concrete Frame. <br/>
<br/>
There is no constrains and also no link elements.<br/>
For the steel I prefer Manegetto-Pinto (A1:18 ...
