Dear All
I am dealing with a dynamic contact problem.
I have a little problem when i apply Rayleigh damping (especially Beta) the model runs very slowly. While if i dont give Beta value then it runs ok.
One more thing that am i applying this damping correctly? i am applying alpha in the mass...
Dear All
I am designing a 10 story shear wall building structure. I have 2 lifts in the plan but i dont want to use rocking/core wall for that. I have seen some elevators with only columns and beams but could not find it. Can somebody refer me to some literature regarding these type of elevators...

Hello everybody
I am doing dynamic analysis of a rocking wall. In the first step i applied the self weight and post-tensioning and base of the foundation was fixed in all DOF. In the 2nd step i have to apply dynamic loading. So i free the horizontal DOF of foundation base (EQ will be applied in...
Hello everybody
I want to know that how can i apply earthquake excitation (acceleration) in Abaqus CAE.
Plz kindly tell me or refer me any links that can explain the procedure to apply this excitation as i am just a beginner in Abaqus.

Hello Everybody
Can somebody guide me to how to model the unbonded PT tensioning in a rocking wall. (Shown in Figure)
1) One of the problem that i am facing is that i cant use a truss member for this purpose (Error which says missing property definitions)
Using a beam member and allowing all...
