Anyone have the Fabig (Fire and Blast Information Group) Technical Note as shown below.

Could you help to kindly share with me?

Could you please suggest me a software for masonry building analysis.
It would preferable to have the Eurocode6.
I know the Italian 3muri.
Does anyone use it or use something else ;

Hi All

I hope someone can help me with this journal. Thanks A Lot


Method for Random Vibration of Hysteretic Systems

by Yi-Kwei Wen, M.ASCE, Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, Vol. 102, No. 2, March/April 1976, pp. 249-263

Hi,

I have created a linear direct integration time history load case, which contains a bridge live load pattern. This load pattern has a time history function associated.

The problem is that when I change the time history function, all the results stay the same...Even if I create a null time history function (all zeros throughout the time), I still get stresses and deformations in the structure, suggesting that the time history function is actually doing nothing!

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? I've seen that time history functions work with static load cases...Can't it work with moving load cases?

Any help will be mostly appreciated!

Hello comrades:

I ask you to see if anyone knows if SAP2000 version 10, can operate with multiple processors, ie in a supercomputer that has multiple processors, or on a network of computers to work on a single model.

This is because I have been testing the model for my thesis on my computer (intel core-2-duo, 4GB ram), but the race becomes very slow (I think it would take weeks to complete a single run !!).. I know there is not a problem with my computer, because the analysis is a nonlinear time-history and direct integration, which usually takes longer than other analysis. Also that the structure is very large (57 levels, and 5 x 5 frames) and has many nonlinear elements (defined plastic hinges at the ends of some beams, and many bars with a limit of tension/compression).

I need to speed up the runs to finish my thesis within a reasonable time, because now I have to finish it. I went to ask my university to lend me a supercomputer to make runs, but they told me to check that the program (SAP2000 v10) could work with multiple processors simultaneously, so that the supercomputer would be useful .. But I do not know if the SAP2000 can or not.

Please, if any of you know if SAP2000 can work with multiple processors, or can suggest me how i can speed up the analysis, Please help me..

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am looking for the standard ISO/IEC 80000-4:2006 "Quantities and units - Part 4: Mechanics".
If anybody has it, please share it.
Thanks in advance!
