Thanks for your reply. Yes, there is decrease in the deformation with load factor. I have plotted the infill panel deformation graph for struts (Deformation vs Load factor).

I have analysed the model using pushover analysis. How can I validate that infill panel fails when the strength degradation ...

I have modeled a six storeyed RC frame building considering infill walls. Thereafter, I carried out pushover analysis to understand the response of the RC frame wit infill wall.

From the post processor data I can see the deformation of struts of infill panel in each direction. The struts ...

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your informative suggestions. I hope I would be able to overcome the difficulties with these suggestions.
I am sorry if my queries were irrelevant to the discussion arena of the forum.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your reply. However I have few more queries regarding the same issue. I am sorry if my queries seems stupid to you.

1) For which criterion type should I define strength degradation and shall I check type of notification as "stop" for the same?
2) And how can I identify the ...

Hello,

Thank you for your response. In the code based target displacement three damage states are mentioned Damage limitation, Significant damage and Near collapse ( The structure is heavily damaged with low residual lateral strength and stiffness. Most non-structural components have collapsed ...

Dear Tim ,

Thank you for your response. Collapse displacement is not from physical test. Its from post processor data. In the Pre-Processor I have defined " Calculate Target Displacement" and Checked " Limit States" according to Euro-Code. After analysis "Target Displacement" dialog box in the Post ...

Hello,
I am a research student at University of Geneva working on the interaction of infilled walls with RC frame elements. I am using the Sesimostruct v-7 for this purpose.
I have performed the pushover analysis to define different damage states. However I am finding difficulty in defining the ...
