One last question (if I may) regarding the capacity of shear links 1 and 2, after analysing their hysteretic curves:

- The capacity of Shear link 1 seems to be governed only by Crisafulli's (1997) Expression 8.17, as the hysteretic curve varies linearlly until it reaches the limit value given by ...

Dear Seismosoft Support,

Thank you for your swift answer.

Indeed, for the upper storeys, I can subtract the comulative V3 force on the columns of the selected storey and subtract it from the externally applied loads down to that storey. This will work well for static pushover analysis. Might be ...

Dear All,

Please consider a 4 storey 2D infilled RC frame, static pushover analysis model.

For a certain level of displacement (instant of analysis) and for the 1st storey, I have estimated the total shear force supported by the infill panels by subtracting the comulative V3 force on the columns ...
