This report summarizes the results of a research conducted at the University of Colorado, Boulder, aimed at developing a PC-based software tool for performing nonlinear pushover analysis of reinforced concrete buildings. The program links two libraries to an existing finite element program, FEAP, developed at the University of California, Berkeley. The two
libraries are a) a frame element library (which includes beam, beam-column and shear wall elements); and b) a library of uniaxial material laws. The project first modified the existing program to perform nonlinear pushover analyses on a routine basis. Current seismic code suggested procedures for nonlinear pushover analyses were then reviewed. The applicability of nonlinear pushover analyses to the seismic design of reinforced concrete frames was evaluated by studying the response of frames of different heights. The responses of static and dynamic nonlinear analyses on the same buildings were compared. A new shear element was then introduced and a typical shear wall of a utility core was analyzed with a push-over analysis. Details on the features added to program FEAP and on the new commands are documented in the appendices.

CIRIA - C534 - Civil Engineering Design and Construct
A Guide to Integrating Design into the Construction Process
By G. Lafford, et al
* Publisher: Construction Industry Research & Information Association (CIRIA)
* Number Of Pages: 92
* Publication Date: 2001-01-09
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0860175340
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780860175346
* Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
This publication is a guide to best practice in managing the project process in civil engineering design and construct (D&C) projects. It discusses the issues to be addressed when managing design and explains the attitudes and practices that are recommended to enable projects to succeed. It is intended to increase awareness and understanding of the issues involved, identifying what decisions need to be made, when and why. Differences between D&C and traditional procurement routes are highlighted along with contractual issues. "Design and construct" is taken to be a generic term encompassing the whole family of design, construct, finance, own, operate and transfer procurement strategies, in which one party is responsible for both designing and constructing a facility. This includes projects procured under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). Considerable emphasis is placed on imparting awareness of the importance of the designer-constructor interface as, in a D&C project, the most critical lines of communication are at this interface. As well as describing contractual frameworks, this guide also contains management toolboxes for reference. It is a working document that will assist those at a senior level (clients, contractors and consultants alike) who have to make crucial decisions affecting the outcome of a project.
