Database of structural engineering software

Database of structural engineering software The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements. RFEM provides deformations, internal forces, stresses, support forces, and soil contact stresses. The corresponding add-on modules facilitate data input by automatic generation of structures and connections or can be used to perform further analyses and designs according to various standards. The modular software concept allows you to compile a program package tailored to your individual needs. It is possible to upgrade the program at any time.

ACE Legacy software from 1977 to evaluate response of existing buildings to and

Multistory Residential Buildings Pinkham, Clarkson W.; Hart, Gary C S.B Barnes &

Associates, Los Angeles, California; J.H Wiggins Company, Redondo Beach, California,

1977, The response of an existing building to earthquake motions reflects the performance level inherent in the codes, standards, and construction practices in existence at the time of the design and construction of the building Deterioration and improper alteration during the service life of a building affect the actual margin of safety provided by the building Thus there is a need to evaluate the potential seismic hazard of existing buildings Following evaluation of the original structure, the effectiveness of appropriate strengthening or retrofit procedures may be determined A methodology is presented in the user documentation for evaluating the need to upgrade existing buildings by identifying items requiring

strengthening or repair, and then by verifying the adequacy of rehabilitation This evaluation

is given in terms of the behavior of the critical structural elements in a building The

determination of this behavior requires an analysis of the structural response of the building

to prescribed forces An analytical model of the building is defined with data collected from

a field inspection of the building, original structural calculations and drawings, test records, and test of the existing building materials The 1973 edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC73) serves as the basis for calculations made with the analytical model A building's description, plan dimensions, inertia and stiffness properties are input to the ACE program UBC73 earthquake loads are calculated either by (1) the UBC73 building period formulas and basic shear distribution equation, or by (2) the building period and/or fundamental mode distribution of base shear obtained from the detailed analytical model Member forces for user defined critical elements are calculated and used to find critcal stress ratios for these elements Among the critical building elements the user can consider are steel, reinforced or 11

ADAP Legacy software from 1973 for linear static and dynamic analysis of arch

dam-foundation systems Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley ADAP: Static and Dynamic Analysis of Arch Dams Clough, Ray W.; Raphael, Jerome M.; Mojtahedi, Soheil Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley,

1973, ADAP is a finite element program capable of performing linear static and dynamic analysis of arbitrary arch dam-foundation systems Most of the logical features and many of the subroutines of the computer program SAP are utilized in this program Special features primarily associated with preparation of input data are incorporated to make it more suitable for arch dam analysis Three different element types are included in the program; these are considered to be the most suitable in this application The program is organized in such as way that, if desired, new elements can be included easily A finite element mesh is

automatically generated from a minimum amount of input information In each problem any one of the following types of analysis can be requested: (1) static analysis - the program is capable of handling an arbitrary combination of gravity, water pressure, and temperature loading conditions, and concentrated loads at any node; (2) evaluation of natural frequencies and mode shapes - if these are not available for input they are automatically evaluated as part of (3) or (4); (3) response history analysis - using a step-by-step integration scheme assuming the accelerations to vary linearly within each time step; and (4) response spectrum analysis - which results in estimated maximum values for displacements and stresses

Keywords: dam; eigenvalue analysis; response spectrum analysis; static analysis; time history analysis

Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992, The modeling and dynamic analysis

of concrete arch dams, the impounded water and foundation rock, is an important step in the earthquake safety evaluation of such systems A linear earthquake analysis assuming an arch dam is an elastic monolithic structure usually shows large tensile stresses that exceed the tensile strength of concrete Because arch dams are constructed as cantilever monoliths, the joints between the monoliths cannot develop the tensile stress predicted in a linear

analysis In reality, the contraction joints are expected to open and close during an

earthquake, releasing arch stresses and redistributing the internal forces ADAP-88 is a finite element analysis program for computing the earthquake response of arch dams

including the nonlinear effect of contraction joint opening The nonlinear joint elements are combined with shell, solid and fluid finite elements to model a complete arch dam system Special consideration is given to resolving the stress distribution near the joints by using a refined mesh of solid elements A numerical procedure for solving the equations of motion assumes that the nonlinearity in the model is restricted to the joints The cantilever

monoliths between contraction joints are modeled as linear substructures, resulting in a significant reduction of computation in the iterative solution of the nonlinear equations of motion ADAP-88 includes a finite element mesh generator for typical arch dam geometries The computer program RESVOR is used to compute the added mass for the water

ANSR-1 Legacy software from 1975 for general static and dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley ANSR-1: Analysis of Nonlinear Structural Response Mondkar, Digambar P.; Powell,

Graham H.; Riahi, Ali; Row, Dennis G.; Maison, Bruce F.; Popov, Egor P Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1975, ANSR is a general purpose computer program for static and dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures In it, a structure is idealized as an assemblage of discrete finite elements Each node may possess up to six degrees of freedom The structure mass is assumed to be lumped at the nodes Viscous damping effects may be included, or damping proportional to mass, specified Static loads are applied in a series of load increments, each load increment being specified as a linear combination of static force patterns This feature permits nonproportional loads to be

applied Dynamic loading may consist of earthquake ground accelerations, time-dependent nodal loads, or prescribed initial values of nodal velocities and accelerations The elements available are: [1] A three-dimensional truss element, which may yield in tension and yield

or buckle elastically in compression Large displacement effects may be included [2] A two-dimensional 4-to-8 node finite element for plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric analysis Large displacements may be included and the material may be specified to be isotropic linearly elastic, orthotropic linearly elastic, or isotropic elastic-perfectly plastic with the Von Mises yield function Nonlinearities are introduced at the element level only and may be due to large displacements, large strains, and/or nonlinear materials [3] INEL2, beam-column element which has two-dimensional stiffness and yield characteristics, may

be located arbitrarily in a three-dimensional structure and is intended primarily for modeling beams [4] INEL3, a beam-column element which has three-dimensional stiffness and yield characteristics, can be used for modeling columns in which biaxial bending effects may be important and also for structures such as elevator shafts In INEL2 and INEL3, allowance has been made for rigid floor diaphragms by means of a "slaving" feature incorporated into the elements at the element level because ANSR-1 cannot account for slaving at the nodal level Both elements also allow for rigid end zones and for initial element actions [5] The inelastic brace element, INEL4, is a simplified model to describe the macrobehavior of a brace (i.e., the axial force-displacement hysteretic rule) The axial force-displacement

algorithm simulates the observed behavior with nine piecewise linear zones The

orientations of the zones are defined by: member properties, control displacements, forces, and slopes All of these properties are user selected input to the algorithm The code is

organized to permit the addition of new finite elements to the library with relative ease The program permits the user considerable flexibility in selecting a variety of solution schemes, including step-by-step, iterative, and mixed schemes For static analysis, a different solution scheme may be employed for each load increment The dynamic response is computed by

stepwise time integration using Newmark's beta-gamma-delta operator Keywords:

of California, Berkeley, 1978, This program incorporates a simplified procedure for dimensional analysis of generation and dissipation of pore water pressures in a sand deposit due to seismic excitation The method of liquefaction analysis in APOLLO is outlined by the following steps: (1) By means of a dynamic response analysis of the soil deposit under investigation, time histories of shear stress developed by earthquake are determined at the various depths of interest; (2) For each depth in the soil profile, determine the equivalent uniform cyclic stress, the equivalent number of uniform stress cycles and the effective

one-period of each stress cycle representing the induced stress history; (3) Determine from

laboratory cyclic load test the relationships between the applied cyclic shear stresses and the number of stress cycles required to produce a condition of initial liquefaction under

undrained conditions; (4) Determine the number of stress cycles required to cause initial liquefaction; (5) Determine rate of pore pressure build up for each elemental layer of the deposit; (6) From a knowledge of the coefficients of permeability and compressibility of the soil layers, determine the corresponding values of the coefficient of consolidation for the different layers; (7) Solve the governing differential equation for the known values of soil characteristics, pore pressure generation expressions and boundary conditions Program

APOLLO is used to solve this equation by an implicit finite difference method Keywords:

territory with electric power networks Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley ASKxELP: Assessment of Seismic RisK for ELectric Power Networks Giannini, Renato; Pinto, Paolo E.; Vanzi, Ivo 1999, ASKxELP is a Fortran computer

program which models two different but interacting aspects of the seismic risk on a

territory: first, the seismic behavior of an Electric Power Network (EPN), from both the structural and electric viewpoints and, secondly, the expected number of casualties in the municipalities Interaction is intended in the sense that, electric power being essential for emergency operations (hospitals, telecommunications, emergency management centers, etc.), complete or partial blackout at a point in the affected area increases the time of

response for rescue and hospitalization the injured EPN's are extremely vulnerable lifelines since they contain a large number of pieces of equipment not designed to withstand lateral forces This equipment is concentrated in the stations, or nodes of the network Line

malfunctions originating from any station may spread to significant parts of the system and cause a larger scale blackout As a local damage indicator, the number of casualties is used; this computed as the product of the population and the percentage of casualties in the

population modeled as a random function of the local earthquake intensity The program allows: 1 a look at only the network, or only at the casualties within the territory, or at their interaction 2 performing either scenario studies, conditioning the results to seismic events

of given magnitude and location, or full reliability studies, considering different sources of randomness (earthquake magnitude and location, attenuation, etc.) 3 analysis of large scale system behavior with synthetic indexes, or behavior at a small scale, with analytical indexes 48

Bridge/Abutment/Backfill Systems Subjected to Traveling Seismic Waves Dendrou, Basile Agbabian Associates, El Segundo, California, 1983, The BASSIN methodology has the following features: It computes the three-dimensional dynamic response of an arbitrarily configured, elastic, bridge/abutment/backfill system It assumes this system to be underlain

by a soil continuum that is represented as an elastic half- space It represents seismic input motions as being harmonic and induced by planar P-, SV-, SH-, or Rayleigh waves with arbitrary wavelength, amplitude, and direction of incidence The methodology uses a

substructure approach in which the structure (which comprises the bridge, abutment, and backfill) is represented using a three-dimensional finite element model, and the underlying soil continuum is represented using a boundary element approach The finite element model 61

defines the stiffness matrix, mass matrix, and fixed-base nodes for the structure The

boundary element approach characterizes the underlying soil medium using frequency- dependent impedance matrices and driving force vectors that also incorporate the free-field wave motions Compatibility and equilibrium requirements at the soil/structure interface are used to couple these substructures The steady-state response of the soil/structure system is

BLOCK Legacy software from 1989 that utilizes block theory has been applied to the

planning and design of surface and underground excavations Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley BLOCK: BASIC Programs for BLOCK Theory Shi, Gen-hua; Goodman, Richard E Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1989, Block theory has been applied to the planning and design of surface and underground excavations The object of this technology is to specify the critical joint blocks intersecting an excavation It applies to rock engineering for for excavations in hard rock where the movement of predefined blocks precipitate failure A series of Block Theory programs help to find the critical key blocks and possibility of failure in all types of excavations These were developed along with the theories outlined in the book, "Block Theory and Its Application to Rock Engineering," by Richard E Goodman and Gen-hua Shi, Prentice-Hall, 1985 The problem is limited in scope to find the critical blocks created

by intersections of discontinuities in a rock mass excavated along defined surfaces Yet the problem is sufficiently difficult that a series of simplifying assumptions are adopted: (1) All joint surfaces are assumed to be perfectly planar (2) Joint surfaces will be assumed to

extend entirely through the volume of interests, that is, no discontinuities will terminate 77

within the region of a key block The implications are that all blocks are completely defined

by preexisting joint surfaces so that no new cracking is entailed in the analysis of block movements (3) Blocks defined by the system of joint faces are assumed to be rigid This means that block deformation and distortion will not be introduced The key-block problem

is formulated entirely through geometry and topology (4) Discontinuities and the

excavation surfaces are assumed to be determined as input parameters Block theory is developed on the basis of geometric information derived from structural geology and

equilibrium calculations using simple statics It is assumed that continuum mechanics is second in importance to the calculation and description of key blocks Only block

movement modes are to be considered The suite of programs included in the program

package are: (1) General Key Blocks, (2) Stereographic Projections, (3) Stability Analysis,

M A Department of Civil Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 1980, This program may be used to perform static or dynamic analysis of an electric transmission line system when one or more wires suddenly break In the static analysis the displacements, the wire tensions, and the forces at the wire attachment points and the ground line moments are computed for the broken wire equilibrium position for each support structure In the dynamic analysis the variation with time of the same quantities are computed and the

maximum values and their time of occurrence, along with corresponding impact factors, are given The analysis is performed for a mathematical model of the line system consisting of the individual structural elements which are: the wires; the suspension insulators; and the support structures, which are usually called towers The static analysis uses the Stiffness Method of analysis in which the displacements at discrete points in the mathematical model are computed by solving a set of equilibrium equations obtained by summing external

applied loads and internal resisting forces at each of the points For the dynamic analysis a numerical integration approach is used to solve the dynamic equations of motion for a

lumped mass mathematical model The user can choose between two different numerical integration procedures Available online:

Computer Assisted Learning of Structural Analysis Wilson, Edward L Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1991, The basic purpose of the CAL

95

language is to bridge the gap between traditional methods of teaching structural analysis and the use of automated structural analysis programs As a result of using CAL-91, it is hoped that engineers will understand the theory and approximations which are used in modern structural analysis programs CAL-91 is designed to interpret a sequence of commands which are supplied by the user The commands can be given directly in an "interactive

mode," or the program can read the commands from a "batch data file." The input has been redesigned so all commands, array names, and data are in free- field form Commands for matrix analysis, direct stiffness structural analysis, and dynamic response analysis are

possible The program is written in standard FORTRAN 77 and will operate on small

microcomputers or large mainframe computers Printer plots of results can be produced CAL-91 is used to perform linear dynamic analysis of small structural systems It is possible

to solve the following types of dynamic problems: 1 Evaluation of free-vibration mode shapes and frequencies 2 Automatic generation of Ritz vectors to be used in mode

deal.II A Finite Element Differential Equations Analysis Library deal.II is a C++ program library targeted at the computational solution of partial differential equations using adaptive finite elements It uses state-of-the-art programming techniques to offer you a modern

interface to the complex data structures and algorithms required The main aim of deal.II is

to enable rapid development of modern finite element codes, using among other aspects adaptive meshes and a wide array of tools classes often used in finite element program Writing such programs is a non-trivial task, and successful programs tend to become very large and complex We believe that this is best done using a program library that frees the 130

application programmer from aspects like grid handling and refinement, handling of degrees

of freedom, input of meshes and output of results in graphics formats, and the like Also, support for several space dimensions at once is included in a way such that programs can be written independent of the space dimension without unreasonable penalties on run-time and memory consumption deal.II is widely used in many academic and commercial projects For its creation, the principal authors have received the 2007 J H Wilkinson Prize for

Numerical Software It is also part of the industry standard SPEC CPU 2006 benchmark suite used to determine the speed of computers and compilers, and comes pre-installed on the machines offered by the commercial Sun Grid program deal.II emerged from work at the Numerical Methods Group at Universit t Heidelberg, Germany, which is at the

Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) software is

an advanced non-linear structural analysis software tool that allows structural engineers to study the 3D behavior of structures through both the continuum and discrete stages of

loading This includes static and dynamic loads such as those generated by blast, seismic 162

events, impact, progressive collapse, and wind Unlike many structural analysis software tools which are based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), ELS utilizes a non-linear solver based on the Applied Element Method (AEM) This allows ELS is to automatically analyze structural behavior during elastic and inelastic modes including the automatic detection and generation of plastic hinges, buckling, cracks, and separation The resulting debris and impacts with structural elements are also automatically analyzed and stress redistribution is
