How to manually verify the infill strut forces?

Post by gemini »

Hi,

How can I manually verify the infill axial strut and shear strut forces obtained from the SeismoStruct software?

I want to know the formula for the strength of the strut but software doesn't show me in its help. It directly plot the strut 1 strut 2 and shear 1 curve showing axial force, axial displacement and shear force and shear displacement respectively

Thankyou for the help

In every analysis step the axial and shear strut forces are calculated by multiplying the stress (as derived from the inf_strut and inf_shear curves) with the strut area.
You can refer to the thesis by Crissafulli for further details.
