PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

[ernylmaz39]

Hello, Is there a way to assign the column beam reinforcements according to the minimum reinforcement ratio while performing performance analysis, or should I enter the reinforcements into individual elements? Thank you for your answers.

Hello there; Reinforcements must be defined before performing a Linear or Non-Linear performance analysis. There is no command like "place all elements with minimum reinforcement ratio" in the program. When you analyze your project according to DGT, the program will place the required reinforcement ratios on the elements. However, while doing this, it will take into account both the loading conditions and the TBDY ductility conditions. For this reason, it may be useful to lock the reinforcements after normal analysis by reducing the spectrum curve to reduce the earthquake load. After this, you can restore the spectrum curve for performance analysis. Another method is to arrange the element reinforcements one by one as you said. If a linear performance analysis is to be made, after clicking the linear performance analysis command, there are "Defined beam margin" and "defined column margin" commands in the window that opens. You can activate these commands and write the reinforcement ratio. Best regards...
