QUAKE/W 2012 dynamic earthquake analysis.
Features
-
Linear analysis using linear-elastic soil properties.
-
Equivalent Linear analysis, which varies soil properties for successive iterations (Damping Ratio and G-Modulus vary with cyclic strain for successive iterations).
-
Generalized data point functions for specifying material properties, including functions for overburden correction function (Ks), shear stress correction (Ka), cyclic number, pore pressure, damping ratio, and G modulus reduction.
-
Imported earthquake records; both horizontal and vertical acceleration vs. time records can be used.
-
Scale peak acceleration and time duration of imported earthquake records for site-specific conditions.
-
Boundary condition types include X and Y displacements, forces, pressures, and spring constants, as well as stress, fluid pressure, and self-weight gravity loading.
-
Definition of liquefaction potential using a collapse surface and steady-state strength.
-
Structural elements for soil-structure interaction; specifying both axial and flexural stiffness can affect the dynamic response of the system.
-
History nodes show complete record of displacement, velocity and acceleration.
-
Many ways to view results, including x-y plots, contours, deformed mesh, animation, spectral analysis, data tables, and Mohr circles.
-
View most result parameters for static conditions, dynamic conditions, or both.
-
View displacements, velocities and accelerations as relative values (the finite element results) or as absolute values (the results added to the earthquake record).
-
And many more!
