Function
- Check the hinge status (Ductility, Deformation, Force, Status of yielding) resulting from the Pushover analysis in Contours.
Call
From the main menu, select [Poshover] tab > [Pushover Results] group > [Hinge Status Result]
Input
Pushover Hinge Status Result dialog box
Pushover Load Case Name
Select a desired load case, load combination entered in Pushover Load Cases.
Step : Specify the step for which the analysis results are to be produced.
Increment Function
Select the load increment function to use.
Type of Result
Hinge Status : inelastic hinge condition
Represents the level by the 5 levels defined in the inelastic hinge property.
Ductility Factor (D/D1) : Ratio of the displacement to the 1st yielding displacement at the corresponding step
Ductility Factor (D/D2) : Ratio of the displacement to the 2nd yielding displacement at the corresponding step
Deformation
Plastic Deformation : Plastic deformation (total deformation yielding deformation)
Force
Status of Yielding : Hinge status for Bilinear/Trilinear type hinge.
Based on the assigned yielding strengths in Define Pushover Hinge Properties, the hinge status is classified as follows:
- Bilinear: Linear, 1st Yielding strength, 2nd Yielding strength
- Trilinear: Linear, 1st Yielding strength, 2nd Yielding strength, 3rd Yielding strength
If the pushover hinge is a Distributed type, hinge status is classified by element's color. (Linear : Blue, 1st Yield: Green, 2nd Yield : Red).
Status of Yielding(FEMA) : Hinge status for FEMA type hinge.
FEMA : Linear, IO(Immediate Occupancy), LS(Life Safety), CP(Collapse Prevention), Collapse
Components
Select the desired member force component:
Dx : Axial component in the element's local x-direction
Dy : Shear component in the element's local y-direction
Dz : Shear component in the element's local z-direction
Rx : Torsional component about the element's local x-axis
Ry : Bending moment component about the element's local y-axis
Rz : Bending moment component about the element's local z-axis
Type of Value
Positive : Display the maximum positive displacement
Negative : Display the minimum negative displacement
Abs Max. : Display the absolute maximum displacement
OK : Apply the entered options and close the dialog box.
Cancel : Close the dialog box without applying the entered options.
