Some parameters for modelling infill wall

Post by warcorsario »

In seismostruct manual about inelastic infill wall mention on horizontal and vertical offset (Xoi and Yoi), maybe can provide an example to calculate the horizontal and vertical offset (Xoi and yoi, I will be very grateful.

Dear warcorsario,

As it is mentioned in SeismoStruct's User Manual: "Horizontal and Vertical offsets (Xoi and Yoi).
Introduced as percentage of the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the panel, they obviously represent the reduction of the latter due to the depth of the frame members. In other words, these parameters provide the distance between the external corner nodes and the internal ones."
I think that the image of page 419 of SeismoStruct's User Manual will help you understand.
