A symmetrical shallow structure is made of eight equal truss members, which are embedded into hinge supports. The structure is loaded by a concentrated force and alternatively by imposed nodal deformation over the critical limit point when the snap-through occurs. Imposed nodal deformation is used in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 to obtain the full equilibrium path of the snap-through. Le poids propre est négligé dans cet exemple. Determine the relationship between the actual loading force and the deflection, considering large deformation analysis. Evaluate the load factor at the given deflections.
Une membrane de diaphragme sphérique est remplie de gaz avec une pression atmosphérique et un volume défini (ces valeurs sont utilisées uniquement pour la définition du modèle EF).

Une structure à travée simple sur deux niveaux est soumise à des charges sismiques. The modulus of elasticity and cross‑section of the frame beams are much larger than those of the columns, so the beams can be considered rigid.

For each frequency obtained, specify the standardized displacements of the floors as well as equivalent forces generated using the elastic response spectrum according to the standard SIA 261/1.2003.
