- Abstract
- INRESB-3D-SUPII (PC version) is a general purpose program written in FORTRAN and containing about 30,000 statements. While the PC and supercomputer versions have identical functions, PC solution capacity is limited by its memory. INRESB-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 to 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 primatic beams, nonlinear reinforced concrete shear walls, nonlinear springs, inelastic 3D-beam-column elements, finite-segment elements, and nonlinear bracing elements.
