Hi.

I am performing an IDA analysis to a 4 levels regular plane concrete frame. I have an issue to considering the damping that I must use. I have defined infrmFBPH Element Class to beam and columns elements, but I note that there is a DAMPING button to define the values. After, in the SETTINGS ...

Dear Zoi, the information below is the error message:

Hi.

I have modeled 6 floor 2D concrete frame, and I have to execute an Adaptative Pushover. I have assigned the Dead Loads and Live Loads as ELEMENT LOADS, but when the RUN start, the program is not recongnizing this loads and an error message appears. There is no LF factor (0.00), LF increment (0 ...

Hi.

I want to use the infrmFBPH model for concrete members, but I do not know what hysteretic curve is used by seismostruct to define the plastic hinge F-D curve (MIMK, for example). I know that infrmDBPH element class uses by deffault MIMK_bilin curve.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am verifying the differences between element classes, and I have a question. ¿Can I use the elfrmH element for plastic hinges of beams and columns for a Adaptative Pushover Analysis, instead infrmFBPH or infrmDBPH? The definition is very extensive, but the user can obtain all parameters from ...

Thanks a lot.

ASCE 41-17 (10.2.2.1.2) indicate "Nominal material properties, or properties specified in construction documents, shall be taken as lower-bound material properties. Corresponding expected material properties shall be calculated by multiplying lower-bound values by a factor taken from ...

Hi.

I want to compare a SAP2000 Pushover example analysis with the same example using SEISMOSTRUCT Pushover analysis, but I am not really sure how to introduce the ASCE 41-17 Table 10-1 FACTORS TO TRANSLATE LOWER-BOUND MATERIAL PROPERTIES TO EXPECTED STREGTH MATERIAL PROPERTIES:
