Hello everyone,
I am using seismostruct software to investigate the effects of infill walls in RC structures. Can anyone suggest me the steps need to be followed for static pushover analysis? Already I have generated a infill model in seismostruct and it's results of eigen value analysis is pretty satisfactory.
Thanks in advance

Dear Rajen Dey,

SeismoStruct User Manual, especially the tutorials at the Quick Start section, and the Help System might help you in running a static pushover analysis.

Dear Zoi Gronti,
Thanks for your suggestion. can you help me with the following questions:
1) Do I need to change reinforcement configuration or I can use default one?
2) How should I use performance criteria?
Rajen

Dear Rajen Dey,

In SeismoStruct you may model whichever reinforcement pattern is needed, according to your model, through the available reinforcement pattern modules and the "Add Bar" facility. The default reinforcement pattern is a representative reinforcement pattern for each section, which may be used as it is or modified depending on your model.

As far as the performance criteria question is concerned, apart from the SeismoStruct User Manual and Help System that might help you, there is a video available in Seismosoft's YouTube channel and Facebook page that shows the way of assigning the performance criteria. You may find this video in the links below:

Hello,
Good day.I am a postgraduate student from Bangladesh.I am trying to evaluate the effects of infill wall on seismic responses RC structures using seismostruct software. I want to do pushover analysis and compare the results with bare frame RC structures. I have performed pushover analysis using incremental load as displacement and providing the response control at a node at the top floor. The pushover curve for bare frame is quite satisfactory but my supervisor is not satisfied with curve derived for infill frame.Please can anyone help me in this regard. I want to attach and send my model as well as pushover curve.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rajen,

If you carry out a search with the 'infill' term in this forum, you will find several posts. Further, please see the relevant video on Seismosoft's Youtube channel.
