Re: Plastic Rots higher than Chord Rots of Beams after Gravi

Thank you Dr. Scott for your reply and sorry for the long delay, I have finally been able to model individual frames from my full 3D Structure in a 2D analysis environment. I have conducted both gravity and pushover analysis and not encountered such a problem that I described. In the planar model th...

Plastic Rots higher than Chord Rots of Beams after Gravity

Hello Everybody, Title states my problem; at the end of gravity analysis, and at the onset of dynamic analysis, my beams loaded with uniform distributed loads register way too high plastic rotations than chord rotations which is physically impossible. It is a 3-D model of an 8Story RC structure. All...
