Push-over Analysis on the Failure Mechanism of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

A reinforced concrete frame model was designed by PKPM software and then a push-over analysis is performed in this paper. Values of plastic hinges were calculated by Section Builder software, which based on constitutive relations of material and the section forms, then the data was written into corresponding components in the model to carry out push-over analysis. The plastic hinges first appeared at the ends of beams in the first story ,spread to the second story and the ends of columns in the first story. At last plastic hinges spread to the top story. The story drift and interstory displacement rotation of the model in different cases tended to decrease as structural height increase. It can be demonstrated that failure mechanism satisfies the design requirements of strong column weak beam.
