Backbone Curve Graph

[Kirkaguel offline]

Is there a way that we can see the backbone curve (whether bi-linear or trilinear) adopted for a non linear component i.e. plastic hinge in accordance with asce 41 guidelines?

One critical aspect of the backbone curve is the post peak stiffness assumption to capture cyclic degradation.

Since SeismoBuild is a fibre based program, this is not possible. Note however that in the next release a plastic hinge frame element with a multi-linear backbone curve will also be available.
