- Abstract
- A procedure of analysis is presented for determining the dynamic instability and response of framed structures subjected to pulsating axial loads, time-dependent lateral forces, or foundation movements. Included in the analytical work are the instability criterion of a structural system, the finite element technique of structural matrix formulation, and the computer solution methods. Two numerical integration techniques of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and the linear acceleration method have been employed for the elastic and elasto-plastic response of continuous beams, shear buildings, and frameworks. The general considerations are the bending deformation, p-delta effect, and the effect of girder shears on columns. For the elasto-plastic analysis, the effect of axial load on plastic moments is also included. A number of selected examples are presented and show that the vertical time-dependent excitation can significantly increase the transverse response.
