Dear SeismoSoft Team,

I have tried to figure out the modeling issue by using alternative material models, compression only concrete, and different element types; but the problem still persists.

Thank you for your help.

Dear Seismosoft Team,

Thank you for the prompt response.

I have re-verified that I have correctly modeled the shear reinforcements in the model but the problem still persists.

What could be the other reasons why I cannot reproduce the pinching behavior?

Best Regards,

Dear Seismosoft Team,

I tried to model one-bay one-story reinforced concrete frame in SeismoStruct utilizing Inelastic Force-Based Frame Element (inftmFB) with 5 integration points with cross-section discretized into 250 fibers. Concrete was modeled using Mander et al. (con_ma) model and ...

Smyrou et al. (2011) state that "It is important to note that the
model does not have the capacity of modeling possible plastic hinges in the columns, even
though it does consider the eccentricity of the struts. If the formation of plastic hinges in the
length of the column is important, a different ...

Dear SeismoSoft team,

I am trying to model non-ductile RC frames with masonry infill, where columns are likely to form plastic hinges, in SeismoStruct. Does the multi-strut infill panel has capacity of modeling plastic hinge formation in the columns?

Thank you.

Dear SeismoSoft team,

I have modeled a three story reinforced concrete building with masonry infill using the infill element available in the SeismoStruct. When I run eigenvalue analysis, how does the program define the stiffness matrix of the infilled frame ? (By this I mean how does the program ...

Dear Zoi,

Thank you for your answer.

How can I model diamond transverse reinforcement (as in the link) in SeismoStruct ?
