Abstract

In order to understand the whole process of the steel reinforced concrete frame structure from elastic to elasto-plastic cracking gradually, damage until the collapse, the elasto-plastic finite element analysis theory and ETABS structural analysis software were used, then the spatial three-dimensional truss system model of frame structures was established. Based on the analysis of the elasto-plastic response for the frame structure under one-dimensional and two-dimensional earthquake load, the interbedded displacement angle-time curve and horizontal displacement-time curve were obtained. Through the analysis of the model, the sequence of appearance of plastic hinges in the frame structure under earthquake load was cleared and the weak location of the frame structure was detected.

Keywords:

Analysis of elasto-plastic response, frame structure, interbedded displacement angle, plastic hinge, steel reinforced concrete,
