    Response Spectrum Analysis for RSTAB 9

    Response Spectrum Analysis for RSTAB 9

    Forces of nature are a natural enemy of every structural engineer. But don't worry, you can perform your calculations in advance in the event of an earthquake. The Response Spectrum Analysis add-on will help you with this. It performs seismic analyses using the multi-modal response spectrum method. You can create the response spectra required for this in compliance with the standards or user-defined. The program uses them to generate the equivalent static forces.

    The add-on includes even more for you; for example, an extensive library of accelerograms from seismic zones. You can use them to generate the response spectra as well.

    Note: The seismic analysis using the multi-modal response spectrum analysis requires the analysis of natural vibrations in the Modal Analysis add-on.

    Response Spectrum Analysis | Input

    The Dlubal structural analysis software does a lot of work for you. The input parameters, which are relevant for the selected standards, are suggested by the program in accordance with the rules. Furthermore, you can enter response spectra manually.

    Load cases of the type Response Spectrum Analysis define the direction in which response spectra act and which eigenvalues of the structure are relevant for the analysis. In the spectral analysis settings, you can define details for the combination rules, damping (if applicable), and zero-period acceleration (ZPA).

    Response Spectrum Analysis | Calculation

    Did you know that Equivalent static loads are generated separately for each relevant eigenvalue and excitation direction. These loads are saved in a load case of the Response Spectrum Analysis type and RFEM/RSTAB performs a linear static analysis.

    Response Spectrum Analysis | Results

    The load cases of the type Response Spectrum Analysis contain the generated equivalent loads. First, the modal contributions have to be superimposed with the SRSS or CQC rule. In this case, you can use the signed results based on the dominant mode shape.

    Afterwards, the directional components of earthquake actions are combined with the SRSS or the 100% / 30% rule.
