| Abstract | |
This work shows some simplified procedures to consider physical non-linearity (FNL) and geometrical non-linearity (GNL), for reinforced concrete buildings, and discusses its reliability. For FNL, prescriptions for stiffness reduction of structural elements are compared with the results obtained from finite elements analysis, in order to verify its assessment. For GNL, a detailed study of the accuracy of γz parameter to evaluate final second order effects is made. The behavior of the parameter along the height of the building and for each effort considered is shown. (AU) | |
