I am doing a research project where I have to apply Numerical Integration Time History Analysis to a steel building. Although in other structural design codes I have found different ways by which 3D mass can be applied to 2D, I can't find the same for the New Zealand Standards. It would be...
I am performing a 2D analysis on a steel frame structure that is 8 storeys high using NZS 1170.5:2004 (New Zealand Standard for Earthquake Actions). How much of the original 3D structure's mass should be added to the 2D frame to make the analysis realistic? How should this mass be distributed...
Hi,
I am trying to use ANSYS workbench to model a steel frame with steel cross bracing (HSS 32*32*3). The post-buckling behaviour should be similar to the Remennikov-Walpole analytical model (1997) where in a rigidly fixed ended brace three plastic hinges will form in buckling. The expected...
