Dear All,

I want to calibrate an masonry infilled RC frame with Seismostruct. For this purpose, I use the static time history analysis. I have a problem with the pinching in the hystersis behavior of the result. Infact the pinching in the analytical model is more than experimental one. How can I ...

Dear all,

I want to calibrate an masonry infilled RC frame in seismostruct. I have calculated the width and area of strut using Mainstone equation (recommended by ASCE41-06 and FEMA356). Moreover I calculated the material properties of infill and frame in laboratory.

Now, the stiffness and ...

Dear Tm,

would you please give your Email address?

Dear Tim,
Thank you

Yes, in the experimental test there were 20 ton permanent axial load in each column during the test, since I applied the same axial load to the columns in the model. for your second idea, I dont exactly understand what you mean. If you want I can send you the model and the ...

Thank you
I have checked the above-mentioned parameter. they are OK and exactly the same of experimental specimen details.
Now, do you have any other opinion?

Dear all,

I want to calibrate a 1 story 1 bay RC moment frame in SeismoStruct. The Experimental test was cyclic and I want to verify only the pushover curve. Therefore I use the Static Pushover Analysis in SeismoStruct. The result was very good in the initial stiffness but the strength was not ...
