About shaking table tests on concrete frame building 1

[wcq19811982]

DearTazav and versna,
Thanks a lot; I get so much useful information from you.
I would like to ask another question.
I get the restoring force model for every floor of the structure from the experimental data.
Now I want to inspect and verify the shaking table tests with the restoring force model,
I want to know if I can use Pinching4 or other uniaxialMaterial model acting as
the restoring force model of the concrete frame building to simulate the earthquake response?
Cold you give me some guidance and advice? Thank you very much!

Look forward to your reply.
Best regards

Hi,
I don't know what the restoring force model is. You have a model for you frame structure in OpenSees and you can get any response you want including forces. I can't get your question.

DearTazarv,
Thanks a lot; I get the restoring force model for every floor of the structure from the experimental data including inter-storey shear force-inter-storey drift and sectional moment-curvature.
Now I want to inspect and verify the shaking table tests with the restoring force model,
I want to know if I can use Pinching4 or other uniaxialMaterial model acting as
the restoring force model of the concrete frame building to simulate the earthquake response?
