8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 117 we select one of the distributions, which we had previously set to be included in the parameter window, and respectively one of the default combination and in the list the steps of the specific anelastic analysis are displayed and for each step the cutting force Vb(kN) and the corresponding minimum load factor (λ) are shown, while at the same time they are formed: Construction Capacity Curve Bilinear Capacity Curve Targeted Movement It expresses the non-linear relationship between the imposed horizontal load and the displacement of the Control Node. On the Resistance Curve, the "Steps" of the pushover analysis are formed in the form of points. The selected step is shown in pink and represents the creation of a plastic joint (i.e. when the cutting force at Control Node X has a value of Vb of about 156 (kN) then the first plastic joint is created). Moving the mouse to the step points displays the step number and the corresponding Vb and Ux values.
