SUMMARYIn this report, the capabilities of the adaptively shifted integration (ASI)-Gauss code in the analysis of the seismic responses of framed structures are verified and validated by comparing the results with detailed numerical simulations performed by the parallel finite element analysis code, E-Simulator, and with experimental results obtained by E-Defense. The numerical results obtained by both codes showed good agreement with the experimental results obtained by E-Defense. Furthermore, seismic waves with unnaturally large magnitudes are applied to a high-rise building model to demonstrate the ability of the ASI-Gauss code to analyze the collapse behaviors of building frames.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
