Dear All Users of Seismostruct and Admin,

I have one-bay and one-story 2D RC bare frame model in SeismoStruct and I am applying Dynamic Time History Analysis. In settings, I only select X, Z, RY and also W for mass directions. However, I assigned lumped-mass at column top ends only X direction. I ...

Hi again,

I constructed a multi-storey building having uniform element loadings on the all members (specific weight of materials are zero). In the static pushover analysis with different step and target displacement conditions, the error is "unable to apply the entire permanen load. Analysis ...

Hi Dear Friends,

I have multistory RC frame model in SeismoStruct and I am doing static pushover analysis.

I am using response control mode and the target displacement 0.4 m with 100,150 or 200 steps. But, it doesn't matter whatever I do to solve the fbd_tol problem. I've watched all the related ...

I am sorry that I have to make correction for my explanation, I obtain the unconfined material strain from the peak strain-stress menu as I read from the User-Manual. However, I have still a problem that how I should get the confined concrete strain basically in the analysis ? In a more complex ...

Dear Friends and Administrator,

I have a 2D model in a SeismoStruct and I am doing a PushOver Analysis. What I want to obtain is that I want to read maximum strain of Confined, Unconfined and steel material at the RC section. It is easy to get confined concrete and steel strain due to the peak ...

Dear Friends,

I want to model one-storey and one-bay RC frame and also I want to add a diagonal member to this system to get seismic behavior. I plan to see the effect of retrofitting procedure by using Superelastic SMA material. But, I am not sure that stress-strain relationship of this material ...
