Example 5. 2D Frame – 3-story, 3-bay (RC & W-section)

This examples demonstrates how to build a 3-story,3-bay frame. The nodes and elements are specified one by one.

Embedded Power-Point Image

The following library files include tasks that are achieved by Tcl procs or script segments and are used in this example:

Wsection.tcl.tcl

define procedures for creating standard W-section fiber sections and get section properties

LibMaterialsRC.tcl

define materials for reinforced-concrete section

BuildRCrectSection.tcl

define procedures for creating reinforced-concrete fiber sections

DisplayPlane.tcl

procedure for displaying a plane in model

DisplayModel2D.tcl

procedure for displaying 2D perspective of model

Static Lateral-Load Analysis

LibAnalysisStaticParameters.tcl
