Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A material non-linear stick model is presented capable of analysing high-rise buildings subjected to earthquake forces. The model represents each storey of the building by a two degree of freedom beam element. This element is capable of replacing all vertical elements in a storey with a single element while simultaneously allowing the floors of each storey to undergo plastic deformations. Each storey can have multiple redundancies and the elements within a storey are assumed to be perfectly elastic, perfectly plastic. The model can perform static, free-vibration and time-history analysis. A verification example is presented and the results from a static pushover analysis are compared with time-history results from the simplified model. The results verify that the stick model is capable of performing non-linear time history analysis on high rise buildings.
