Hi,
I have been "playing" lately with this simple 1 story concrete frame structure in order to get the hang of push over analysis. I watched the tutorial and read a few papers on it and I think I'm getting there.
So I tried it on my simple frame but I noticed that no matter what value I use for the "Reinforcement Overrides" data (frame sections / beam design), the capacity curve stays the same.
To my understanding, the more longitudinal reinforcement I use, the stiffer the beam should be and the plastic hinges should form at larger displacements (even move to the column at some point). However, in my case nothing happens, everything stays the same.
Anyone else faced the same situation or knows how to solve this?
Thanx,
iotoma
