- Abstract
- INRESB-3-D-SUPII (supercomputer version) is a general purpose program written in FORTRAN and containing about 32,500 statements. IRESB-3D-SUPII is suitable for analyzing elastic and inelastic building systems subject to static loads, dynamic forces, multi-component earthquake motion, and pseudo-static cyclic loads. Also, the program is capable of calculating inelastic post-buckling behavior of steel members and systems, natural frequency, and spectral response analysis. A joint-based system is used to define the geometry of a structure. Structural members may be elastic 3D prismatic beams, nonlinear reinforced concrete shear walls, nonlinear springs, inelastic 3D-beam-column elements, finite-segment elements, and nonlinear bracing elements.
