CFVR4904 - PS 92: Seismic Analysis (elastic spectrum) Z-axis
Seismic Analysis on a 1 DOF beam according to PS 92
This example compares spectrum accelerations given by CivilFEM to accelerations obtained when solving on a 1 DOF beam and to the correct PS 92 spectum accelerations.
The model is 1 element beam with only 1 DOF, which direction the CivilFEM spectrum is set (the rest of the DOF are constrained). A different mass is applied at the free end of the beam for the beam period to be equal to the 20 CivilFEM spectrum points. After solving, the mass acceleration is obtained and compared to the CivilFEM spectrum acceleration and to the correct value. Therefore, this example checks the following results:
- CivilFEM spectrum is defined correctly by comparing to the correct value
- CivilFEM spectrum is applied correctly and response acceleration is equal to spectrum acceleration
