curve curvature depending the time

Post by parasismique » Tue May 02, 2017 2:15 pm

Dears Sirs,

I am working on the vulnerability of bridges.

In the dynamic ground motion analysis, can we plot the curve of curvature of columns depending of the time by OpenSees?!!

So if you can helps me I will be very grateful.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Yes it is possible to output curvature using the section deformation recorder. An example is provided below:

recorder Element -file ele1sec1Defo.out –time -ele 1 section 1 deformation
