Database of structural engineering software The structural analysis program RFEM is the basis of a modular software system. The main program RFEM is used to define structures, materials, and loads for planar and spatial structural systems consisting of plates, walls, shells and members. The program also allows you to create combined structures as well as model solid and contact elements. RFEM provides deformations, internal forces, stresses, support forces, and soil contact stresses. The corresponding add-on modules facilitate data input by automatic generation of structures and connections or can be used to perform further analyses and designs according to various standards. The modular software concept allows you to compile a program package tailored to your individual needs. It is possible to upgrade the program at any time.

Hart, Gary C S.B Barnes & Associates, Los Angeles, California; J.H Wiggins Company, Redondo Beach, California, 1977, The response of an existing building to earthquake motions reflects the performance level inherent in the codes, standards, and construction practices in existence at the time of the design and construction of the building Deterioration and improper alteration during the service life of a building affect the actual margin of safety provided by the building Thus there is a need to evaluate the potential seismic hazard of existing buildings Following evaluation of the original structure, the effectiveness of appropriate strengthening or retrofit procedures may be determined A methodology is presented in the user documentation for evaluating the need to upgrade existing buildings by identifying items requiring strengthening or repair, and then by verifying the adequacy of rehabilitation This evaluation is given in terms of the behavior of the critical structural elements in a building The determination of this behavior requires an analysis of the structural response of the building to prescribed forces An analytical model of the building is defined with data collected from a field inspection of the building, original structural calculations and drawings, test records, and test of the existing building materials The 1973 edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC73) serves as the basis for calculations made with the analytical model A building's description, plan dimensions, inertia and stiffness properties are input to the ACE program UBC73 earthquake loads are calculated either by (1) the UBC73 building period formulas and basic shear distribution equation, or by (2) the building period and/or fundamental mode distribution of base shear obtained from the detailed analytical model Member forces for user defined critical elements are calculated and used to find critcal stress ratios for these elements Among the critical building elements the user can consider are steel, reinforced or http://www.bridgeart.net/software_database/index_en.php 14.10.2010 Database of Structural Engineering Software [ www.bridgeart.net ] 12 13 14 15 Seite von 50 unreinforced masonry, and reinforced or unreinforced concrete Keywords: building;

Raphael, Jerome M.; Mojtahedi, Soheil Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1973, ADAP is a finite element program capable of performing linear static and dynamic analysis of arbitrary arch dam-foundation systems Most of the logical features and many of the subroutines of the computer program SAP are utilized in this program Special features primarily associated with preparation of input data are incorporated to make it more suitable for arch dam analysis Three different element types are included in the program; these are considered to be the most suitable in this application The program is organized in such as way that, if desired, new elements can be included easily A finite element mesh is automatically generated from a minimum amount of input information In each problem any one of the following types of analysis can be requested: (1) static analysis - the program is capable of handling an arbitrary combination of gravity, water pressure, and temperature loading conditions, and concentrated loads at any node; (2) evaluation of natural frequencies and mode shapes - if these are not available for input they are automatically evaluated as part of (3) or (4); (3) response history analysis - using a step-by-step integration scheme assuming the accelerations to vary linearly within each time step; and (4) response spectrum analysis - which results in estimated maximum values for displacements and stresses Keywords: dam; eigenvalue analysis; response spectrum analysis; static analysis; time history analysis ADAP88 Legacy software from 1992 for modeling and dynamic analysis of concrete arch dams Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley ADAP-88: Nonlinear Earthquake Analysis of Concrete Arch Dams Mojtahedi, Soheil; Fenves, Gregory L.; Reimer, Richard B Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992, The modeling and dynamic analysis of concrete arch dams, the impounded water and foundation rock, is an important step in the earthquake safety evaluation of such systems A linear earthquake analysis assuming an arch dam is an elastic monolithic structure usually shows large tensile stresses that exceed the tensile strength of concrete Because arch dams are constructed as cantilever monoliths, the joints between the monoliths cannot develop the tensile stress predicted in a linear analysis In reality, the contraction joints are expected to open and close during an earthquake, releasing arch stresses and redistributing the internal forces ADAP-88 is a finite element analysis program for computing the earthquake response of arch dams including the nonlinear effect of contraction joint opening The nonlinear joint elements are combined with shell, solid and fluid finite elements to model a complete arch dam system Special consideration is given to resolving the stress distribution near the joints by using a refined mesh of solid elements A numerical procedure for solving the equations of motion assumes that the nonlinearity in the model is restricted to the joints The cantilever monoliths between contraction joints are modeled as linear substructures, resulting in a significant reduction of computation in the iterative solution of the nonlinear equations of motion ADAP-88 includes a finite element mesh generator for typical arch dam geometries The computer program RESVOR is used to compute the added mass for the water impounded in the reservoir, assuming the fluid is incompressible Keywords: dam;

Powell, Graham H.; Riahi, Ali; Row, Dennis G.; Maison, Bruce F.; Popov, Egor P Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1975, ANSR is a general purpose computer program for static and dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures In it, a structure is idealized as an assemblage of discrete finite elements Each node may possess up to six degrees of freedom The structure mass is assumed to be lumped at the nodes Viscous damping effects may be included, or damping proportional to mass, specified Static loads are applied in a series of load increments, each load increment being specified as a linear combination of static force patterns This feature permits nonproportional loads to be applied Dynamic loading may consist of earthquake ground accelerations, time-dependent nodal loads, or prescribed initial values of nodal velocities and accelerations The elements available are: [1] A three-dimensional truss element, which may yield in tension and yield or buckle elastically in compression Large displacement effects may be included [2] A two -dimensional 4-to-8 node finite element for plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric analysis Large displacements may be included and the material may be specified to be isotropic linearly elastic, orthotropic linearly elastic, or isotropic elastic-perfectly plastic with the Von Mises yield function Nonlinearities are introduced at the element level only and may be due to large displacements, large strains, and/or nonlinear materials [3] INEL2, beam-column element which has two-dimensional stiffness and yield characteristics, may be located arbitrarily in a three-dimensional structure and is intended primarily for modeling beams [4] INEL3, a beam-column element which has three-dimensional stiffness and yield characteristics, can be used for modeling columns in which biaxial bending effects may be important and also for structures such as elevator shafts In INEL2 and INEL3, allowance has been made for rigid floor diaphragms by means of a "slaving" feature incorporated into the elements at the element level because ANSR-1 cannot account for slaving at the nodal level Both elements also allow for rigid end zones and for initial element actions [5] The inelastic brace element, INEL4, is a simplified model to describe the macrobehavior of a brace (i.e., the axial force-displacement hysteretic rule) The axial force-displacement algorithm simulates the observed behavior with nine piecewise linear zones The orientations of the zones are defined by: member properties, control displacements, forces, and slopes All of these properties are user selected input to the algorithm The code is organized to permit the addition of new finite elements to the library with relative ease The program permits the user considerable flexibility in selecting a variety of solution schemes, including step-by-step, iterative, and mixed schemes For static analysis, a different solution scheme may be employed for each load increment The dynamic response is computed by stepwise time integration using Newmark's beta-gamma-delta operator Keywords: dynamics;

Seed, H Bolton Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1978, This program incorporates a simplified procedure for onedimensional analysis of generation and dissipation of pore water pressures in a sand deposit due to seismic excitation The method of liquefaction analysis in APOLLO is outlined by the following steps: (1) By means of a dynamic response analysis of the soil deposit under investigation, time histories of shear stress developed by earthquake are determined at the various depths of interest; (2) For each depth in the soil profile, determine the equivalent uniform cyclic stress, the equivalent number of uniform stress cycles and the effective period of each stress cycle representing the induced stress history; (3) Determine from laboratory cyclic load test the relationships between the applied cyclic shear stresses and the number of stress cycles required to produce a condition of initial liquefaction under undrained conditions; (4) Determine the number of stress cycles required to cause initial liquefaction; (5) Determine rate of pore pressure build up for each elemental layer of the deposit; (6) From a knowledge of the coefficients of permeability and compressibility of the soil layers, determine the corresponding values of the coefficient of consolidation for the different layers;
