A2.5. Three Dimensional Concrete Structure
Problem Description
A dynamic analysis of a three dimensional concrete structure is presented in this example
(Figure 2.5.1).
Geometry, Properties and Loads
The cross section of vertical beam members (columns) is square 50cmx50cm and of
horizontal members is rectangular 30cmx60cm.The foundation of the structure is strip
footing with dimensions 30cmx100cmx100cmx50cm. Modulus of elasticity and Poisson
ratio of the material is 29GPa and ν=0.20, respectively, while the ground stiffness is
300kPa/cm. Two cases of dynamic analysis have been employed, taking into account the
self-weight of structure (ε
c
=25.0kN/m

). According to the first one, no diaphragms are
considered in any floor while on the second case diaphragms in every floor are employed.
