Example 1a. 2D Elastic Cantilever Column

Example 1a is a simple model of an elastic cantilever column. The objective of this example is to give an overview of input format.

While the structural model is the same, there are two lateral-load cases:

a. Static Pushover

Embedded Power-Point Image

 

b. Dynamic EQ Ground Motion

Embedded Power-Point Image

 

To run Static Pushover analysis:

source Ex1a.Canti2D.Push.tcl

The response curves for Ex1a (obtained from the recorders' files DFree.out RBase.out) are as follows:

To run EQ ground-motion analysis (BM68elc.acc needs to be downloaded into the same directory):

source Ex1a.Canti2D.EQ.tcl

The response curves for Ex1a (obtained from the recorders' files DFree.out RBase.out) are as follows:
