8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 74 The dynamic analysis using time histories refers to the stepwise solution of the equations of motion of the structure and takes into account the variation of the response of the structure over time. A load is imposed on the structure, which results from the movement of the ground during seismic excitation. This load is usually imposed in the form of an acceleration at the base of the structure. For this purpose, accelerograms of recorded seismic events are used, which contain the value of the ground acceleration at each moment in time. The implementation of linear dynamic analysis with time histories in SCADA Pro starts with the definition of the Analysis Scenarios for the current construction design regulations implemented in SCADA Pro (e.g. EC8, CEE 2012). Select EC-8_Greek Analysis and Time History Linear Type and press the New button. The EC-8_Greek Time History Linear scenario is no different from the EC-8_(Italia, Cyprus, Austria, General) Time History Linear. • In Members the Multipliers are automatically updated and populated with the EC8 coefficients. A prerequisite for running all analysis scenarios with Time History Linear Type is:
