|
(A) Initial conditions | |
|
(1) Form stiffness, mass, and damping matrices of the structure | |
(2) Initial values | |
(3) Select time step and parameters .25, . Calculate integration constants | |
(4) Form effective stiffness matrix | |
|
(B) For each time step | |
|
(1) Use and calculate dynamic load due to ground motion (4.2) | |
(2) Iterative procedure | |
(2.1) Consider | |
(2.2) Calculate the interaction load induced on soil structure interface (4.6) using | |
(2.3) Calculate the dynamic load | |
(2.4) Calculate effective load at time | |
|
(2.5) Applying Gauss reduction scheme, displacements are calculated at time | |
(2.6) Calculate acceleration and velocities at time | |
(2.7) Calculate the tolerance between two successive iterations | |
(2.8) Check TLR. If TLR < 0.001, the iterative procedure finishes otherwise steps 2.2 to 2.8 are repeated using | |
