<t>Thanks huffte<br/>
I was wondering if Seismostruct remove this bug about confinement factor and its effect on period of structure.<br/>
but Now I dont know about longitudinal reinforcement,I tell again that in Etabs and Sap2000 and perform they dont consider rebar in period but Seismostruct ...

when I use 'response control' with Displacement-based Adaptive Pushover<br/>
Yield Displacement is obtained 0.07m!(Yield force: 630KN) and total height of my frame is 12m and software push frame till 0.6m without any descending,<br/>
when I use 'Automatic response control' with ...

I model 2D RC frame in Seismostruct V.6 and I want to calculate yield force and yield displacement of frame, I pushover it and I bilinear the capacity curve respect to FEMA356 rules. but I have problem with loading phases and load pattern I use displacement rather than force.when I ...

<t>tanx<br/>
but did you exam it! or just you say<br/>
I know what you say but if you change confinement factor from 1.2 to 10! you can see that you don't have any any change in your periods contradiction with manual,but Seismo consider longitudinal reinforcement in period inversely of SAP2000 or ...

what is kc & how can I calculate it??

<t>It steams that Seismostruct considers longitudinal reinforcement in period and with changing of rebar the location of stiffness center is changing & if you change confinement factor (i.e. changing stirrups) period has no change and this is contradict with help manual (page 186)<br/>
Etabs or any ...

Hello
I use adaptive pushover & obtain capacity curve of concrete frame but I can't calculate yield force of this frame,How can I do it?
Is this correct if steel in any section reach to its yield strain we encounter yield force of frame & I use performance criteria to do this

I strongly refer you to Dr.Khaloo in your university

<t>Hello<br/>
I want to calculate the center of Strength in 3D-RC Structures,How can I do it?<br/>
can I PushOver each frame of structure in each direction & after obtain Vy (i.e. yield force of frame) then the geometry resultant of Vy in each direction is coordinate of Strength center.<br/>
another ...
