This paper presents a dynamic nonlinear numerical simulation of a 5-story full-scale steel frame structure based on Perform-3D. Flexibility-based fiber element and Maxwell model are adopted for structure member simulation after a post analysis of the shaking table test of a 4-story full-scale steel frame. The author simulates the low cyclic reciprocating load test for the steel members with fib...

This paper aims to develop a numerical model of RC frame considering the same geometrical properties, material properties and boundary conditions in ABAQUS validated with experimental results comparing its force-displacement curve, damage pattern stress strain variations outcomes. The use infill walls increases progressive collapse resistance force, mainly CAA. is due addition compressive actio...
