Dear Zoi;

Thank you very much for the quick response, I appreciate you. We got it from the help menu.
I hope that Indian Standard will be introduced in the Code-based checks of SeismoStruct in future version.
Thank you,

Hi there;

The verification report examples are available in the existing SeismoStruct-2016 version, however in the new SeismoStruct-2018 Release-2 does not included the verification report example, does the verification report examples are removed in the release-2?

Once more question, does Indian ...

Dear Zoi and Huffte;

Thank you very much for your explanatory answer of my query. Actually, I referred lot of literature, SeismoStruct forum questions, and refer the well known text book Mechanics of Materials. Even, I asked many friends in the University, but did not satisfied the answer. I put ...

Dear Zoi;

Thank you very much for your help and advise. Now the models running perfectly alright. But, I have a question, how do we provide the rotational mass? I used the same value of lumped mass Mx, My, and Mz in element class properties. But, I don't know what is the meaning of rotational mass ...

I hope this link would works. I am trying hard to run IDA, but the analysis getting terminated after few mins ...

Hi there;

I am running IDA for the FRP-confined RC bridge columns. The model was running fine for cyclic analysis and results were matched with experimental results, but when I run IDA with same model, its run few minutes and say unable to apply the next load step. Analysis terminated.I guess ...

Hi Gronti,
Thank you very much for your reply. I do agree with your comments which I was also thinking. But, I like to make sure that i ma doing right things.

<r>Hi There,<br/>
To calculate the confinement factor using SeimoStruct, for FRP confined circular section, we need to provide the Jacket thickness (m), FRP elastic modulus (kPa) and Jacket strain.<br/>
<br/>
I am modeling RC circular column (400mm Dia.) with 1, 2, 3 and 4 layer of CFRP and GFRP ...

<t>Hi Adeel,<br/>
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate you for this help.<br/>
Yeah, you are right about the initial stiffness that would be 8986 kN/m should be the initial stiffness I should use for the Takeda link, initial stiffness (sy).<br/>
Still, I am not sure because, We are using ...
